The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Jo Malone started in London in 1994. Joanne Malone built the brand from a small shop in Walton Street. She makes fragrances and scented products. The signature move was layering—combining two or three fragrances to create custom scents. This practice made her famous. A single cologne became the foundation for personal mixing. Estée Lauder acquired the brand in 1999. Today Jo Malone operates globally, with boutiques in major cities. The brand ranks first in Beauty & Personal Care across 21,133 tracked brands. Cologne and diffusers remain the core. Simplicity and personalization define the work.
