Beyond selecting a wedding dress — or, you know, a groom — one of the most important decisions for your wedding is the perfume you wear. Kate Middleton knew this, so she opted to wear one of her all-time favorites for her 2011 nuptials: Jo Malone Orange Blossom Cologne.
This romantic scent is filled with heady white florals. It opens with sparkling clementine blooms that feature a slight citrusy tinge before warming with a bouquet of the namesake orange blossoms, earthy lilac and a hint of water lily. As it wears, it gains a sensual, woody depth with orris and slightly spicy vetiver.
Multiple outlets report that this wasn’t just the duchess’ personal wedding scent — Orange Blossom was also the aroma of the entire wedding. Jo Malone was contacted to deck Westminster Abbey out in Orange Blossom candles so she could walk down the aisle to the bright, feathery scent. Additionally, the restrooms at the reception were filled with matching hand soaps, lotions and other toiletries.

While this perfume is obviously special occasion-worthy, its beautiful subtlety also makes it a wonderful option for those who are looking for an everyday signature. As one of Jo Malone’s oldest — and bestselling — creations, shoppers have found themselves repurchasing bottles for decades.
“I go back to its freshness and subtleness time after time,” one Nordstrom shopper wrote of Orange Blossom. “It’s just easy and light. Effortless and classy. It’s my everyday fragrance, and it reminds me of how beautiful and simple things can be. I would recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a soft, comfortable fragrance to use daily.”
Jo Malone, overall, is also a great introduction into perfumery, since its colognes aren’t wildly expensive. But you might not even need to explore past Orange Blossom since it is such an agreeable, lovely scent. Plus, if you love the smell, you can purchase it in a variety of formats!
