About Jo Malone CBE

ICONIC FRAGRANCE PIONEER AND ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSWOMEN AND ENTREPRENEURS

While working as a beauty therapist in her discreet skin care clinic, which she set up from her London home, Jo began mixing bath oils in her kitchen, and her hand-made products soon garnered popularity amongst her clients.

Word of her exceptional potions quickly spread and soon Jo was unable to keep up with demand. From these artisan beginnings, Jo launched her first brand, Jo Malone London which gained cult status around the world. In 1999, Jo sold the business to Estée Lauder Companies and remained Creative Director until she left in 2006.

Having bottled the secret to successful branding and overflowing with creative flair, Jo has shared her experiences in publications, radio and on numerous television shows including: BBC, The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Ambitious to create new product concepts and put the entertainment back into retail, Jo returned in 2011 with the launch of her second business Jo Loves, a collection of lifestyle fragrances inspired by the key ingredients of her life – the memories and moments in time that shape who we are.
