Jo Malone, the perfumer behind the Jo Loves brand, has collaborated with Zara on another collection of eight fragrances called the Vibrant Cities Collection featuring fragrances inspired by fashion-forward cities. This particular collection was inspired by her desire to travel during this last year, which at one point we weren’t physically able to do, so Malone used scent as an escape. “This collection takes its inspiration from our return to the pioneering spirit of travel and the discovery of the vibrancy of life again,” said Malone in a press release.
Energetically New York is part of the eight fragrance Vibrant Cities Collection that launched in 2021. “Ignited imaginations will change the world.” — Jo Malone CBE, founder of Jo Loves. With notes of cardamom, jasmine and sandalwood. Energetically New York is an eau de parfum, edp.
Zara x Jo Loves Energetically New York Reviews
Refinery29: A warm and woody fragrance that reminds me of Le Labo’s Santal 33 without the hefty price tag. I usually opt for lighter, floral scents so this is a nice change for my collection. Although I wouldn't wear this as an everyday perfume, it was long-lasting and could most definitely be unisex.
Fragrantica: A soft and gentle wake-me-up boost of a fragrance, a slight jasmine with mainly sandalwood and cardamom. In itself and on its own merits, it's elegantly sophisticated and lovely, more cashmere wrap than power suit - fitting for both a more formal environment such as an office, as for the evening (in or out). It's lasting power extends to about 6 hours or so on my skin, which is far more than the JMs which are sold in the name brand and also for Jo Loves, which tend to be mere memories after about half an hour or so. For the price, this is a bargain and highly recommended.
Fragrantica: I didn't notice jasmine in this fragrance. It’s truly sandalwood and cardamom, and remind me to Santal 33. When dryed down, it leaves a spicy sandalwood on my skin. The longevity and sillage is very great. I wearing this 11am to 7pm, I still smell it all day.
