I recently saw that angel was reformulated to its 90s formulation and was wondering if anyone knew if it hit the shelves yet at Macys or Nordstrom?

(A little ramble of mind skip if you don’t care) Recently as a fan of Jo Malone for a few years I’ve been inspired by the queen herself and her story and now I want to start making my own fragrances! Could this just be another manic hobby? Sure BUT I think it could be fun to channel my love for perfumes into making them. I think it would be a great hobby and distraction since I recently lost my pet so I’d like something fun to keep me busy. And hey maybe I’ll start a small business if it picks up good!

But anyways, as a beginner I would most likely use essential oils to start since we have a LOT in the house and I did a bit of research on how do to so. My dad knows extensively about aromatherapy so I have him as well to help me when using specific essential oils. I did some research on ways I can make my own fragrance sprays and caster oils! I think I want to lean toward an edc or edt similar to Jo malones style as I really enjoy her artistry and look up to her craftsmanship when making her perfumes(even though she doesn’t make them you know what I mean lol)! I might for now give as gifts or gift sets for family/friends and make for myself as crafts and if maybe people enjoy them I can start a small website! Once I start to get better and progress do I need to know about chemistry in order to master the art further? Sounds like a dumb question and I’m getting ahead of myself but I thought I might ask anyways. I like to know what I’m getting myself into generally haha

TLDR; Jo Malone my queen inspired me to make fragrances of my own and will start with simple essential oil fragrances. do I need to know chemistry if I advance? Getting ahead of myself but I like to know what I’m getting myself into and figured I ask!

I recently have been getting back into Jo Malone and something about them is just so beautiful and chic! I started my collection with Jo Malone and have been an avid fan for her fragrances as they’re fresh and no where near synthetic smelling to me. My dad is asthmatic and while there are perfumes he can handle more than others Jo Malone has never bothered him. I enjoy the creativity and photorealism for her fragrances! I just bought nectarine blossom and honey and I love it so much. Yes their longevity isn’t great but you’re buying colognes so you already should know what you’re getting. Who else enjoys Jo Malone and what’s ur favorite fragrance whether it’s discontinued or recent?

Edit: I loved seeing everyone’s responses! I’d love to respond to everyone but I’m 100% reading them! Thank you guys!
