I don't like it much, although I was eager enough to purchase it, unsniffed before the launch. I tossed it into the 'bad decisions' drawer where it will stay until I get the motivation to put it on Ebay. <br />FYI - my favorite JM scents are Grapefruit, Vanilla and Anise and English Pear and Freesia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-75006755115651180862011-08-24T16:05:05.141-04:002011-08-24T16:05:05.141-04:00Yep, Mulberrytea,

I can't say which JM is my favorite, but the ones on heavy rotation are Orange Blossom, White Jasmine & Mint, Earl Grey & Cucumber...then in the winter I like Dark Amber & Ginger Lily and Vanilla & Anise.

I wouldn't call any of them green, per se, but maybe French Lime Blossom might tick your box?lovethescentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12382961211263766637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-72312446927115461362011-08-21T12:29:29.969-04:002011-08-21T12:29:29.969-04:00Hi Sabrina,

It manifests as a notable spice that tempers the sweetness of the floral notes and adds an edge. <br /><br />When I first starting smelling and taking notes after my bottle arrived, I knew it had a spice in it that I didn't like. That spice had not been apparent to me in my sample.

I've smelled the bottles at two different Jo Malone locations in two different cities (about 3 hours apart). Neither batch had clove notes whether it was on my own skin or sprayed on those sample paper cards. I wonder why there is a difference?Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07774760402655563074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-40886395656524318982011-08-21T08:02:46.580-04:002011-08-21T08:02:46.580-04:00MamaVal,

It's certainly the one that has garnered the most compliments.
