JO MALONE BOTANICAL COLOGNES, BATH PRODUCTS DESIGNED FOR FRAGRANCE LAYERING are available in the U.S. exclusively at Bergdorf Goodman, where the collection of colognes, bath oils, shower gels and lotions were launched March 24. The fragrances and scented products were developed "to be used with one another; by combining a bath oil or body lotion in one scent and a fragrance from another, you create a new identity," the British specialty bath and body company explained.

The products are available in Lime Basil & Mandarin, Tuberose (with citrus top notes and a honey heart), French Lime Blossom, Amber & Lavender, Grapefruit (with top notes of lemon and tangerine drying down to vetiver) and Vetyver.

By combining a sweet fragrance with a spicy one, the wearer can "soften" the scent and "produce a warming effect, which creates a completely different smell," the company said, while layering a woodier fragrance with a citrus note "will lift and sharpen the scent." Jo Malone provides a list of "creative combinations," such as Grapefruit with Amber & Lavender, but also encourages users to develop their own combinations or wear the fragrances singly.

A 100 mL bottle of cologne costs $70. For those who want to mix fragrances, boxed sets of two 30 mL bottles are available for $80. The colognes are housed in classic rectangular French pharmacy-inspired clear bottles with clean lines. Gift bottles with gold filigree and funnels for mixing are available at an extra cost.

Lotions, shower gels and bath oils are priced at $50 for a 250 mL bottle and $35 for 100 mL. A $40 sandalwood soap also is available. Home fragrance products include a scented candle ($65) and a linen spray ($55).

Jo Malone products are available in London at the Jo Malone specialty store and internationally through the company's catalog and toll-free number, both of which offer a wider array of botanical scents. The London store also carries a range of botanical skin care products, including Juniper Skin Tonic and Geranium Night Nourishing Cream, which are possible candidates for U.S. introduction.

Jo Malone botanical colognes from London are exclusive to Bergdorf Goodman.
