Princess Kate's fave perfume smells like Zara's £30 Jo Malone spray
Zara is offering a perfume that's strikingly similar to the Jo Malone fragrance reportedly favoured by Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales is known for her love of Jo Malone London's Orange Blossom Cologne, a scent she adores so much that it was even the signature aroma at her 2011 wedding.
Jo Malone London, renowned for its 'exquisite' fragrances and sought-after candles, is a luxury brand with a price tag to match. The Orange Blossom cologne, which debuted in 2003 when Jo Malone CBE was still with the company, is particularly loved by Kate.
The high-end scent is described as a "shimmering garden oasis" and "pure delight." The fragrance boasts white floral notes with hints of tangerine and orange blossom.
Kate's fondness for this citrus scent runs so deep that she reportedly chose it as the signature fragrance for her wedding to Prince William. British Vogue reported that she ensured the scent of Jo Malone London's Orange Blossom candles filled Westminster Abbey during her ceremony. She also reportedly opted for citrus-infused Jo Malone toiletries for the bathrooms.
However, acquiring a bottle of the Orange Blossom Cologne can be expensive. A 100ml bottle retails for £118 on the official Jo Malone website, making it a pricey choice for many, reports Bristol Live.
But there are more budget-friendly 'almost identical' alternatives available for those who wish to smell like royalty. Zara has a treat for fragrance lovers, courtesy of the luxury perfume maestro, Jo Malone CBE. Shoppers can indulge in the Zara Emotions collection, featuring the Fleur D'Oranger Eau de Parfum.
This scent is a collaboration between the high-street fashion giant and the esteemed fragrance creator. The perfume is an aromatic blend of orange flower, neroli, and ylang-ylang, and is available in a 100ml bottle for £29.99.
Its product description reads: "Created by Jo Malone CBE, founder of Jo Loves Eau de Parfum. A captivating fragrance that combines floral and fresh notes. It opens with bergamot and orange blossom, followed by a heart of neroli and ylang ylang. Its base offers a soft and sensual finish, ideal for those seeking an expression of modern elegance."
When launching the £29.99 perfume, Malone expressed her enthusiasm: "I am delighted to join Zara on this amazing adventure of creativity and collaboration. Our first collection is drawn on the global heritage of both brands, Zara and Jo Loves, using ingredients I have loved for many years. Every fragrance has been crafted with personality and a voice to tell its story in a unique fashion."
Jo Malone CBE launched her brand, Jo Malone London, in 1990, later selling it to Estee Lauder in 1999 and parting ways as Creative Director in 2006. She paved a new path with her own label, Jo Loves, established in 2011.
According to reports, the late Queen Elizabeth II's favourite perfume was Guerlain L'Heure Bleue. Some sources indicate she had a fondness for Floris White Rose, a luxurious floral aroma, which she famously donned on her wedding day.

Sam Thompson breaks silence on ex Zara's steamy 'hard launch' of Louis Tomlinson romance
Sam Thompson has spoken out after seeing his ex Zara McDermott 'hard launch' her relationship with Louis Tomlinson as he admitted he 'wouldn't wish it on anyone' Sam Thompson has broken his silence after his ex, Zara McDermott, went public with her relationship with Louis Tomlinson, posting a snap of the pair snogging on Instagram. The Love Island star has been dating the One Direction singer for several months following her break-up with Sam in January, which the Made In Chelsea alum admitted left him 'blindsided'. Zara, 28, and Louis, 33, have so far kept relatively coy about their relationship, but now Zara has made it 'Insta official' and 33 year old Sam's not happy. It comes after the I'm A Celebrity winner admitted he needed help after their split. Talking to his pal, Pete Wicks, on their podcast, Staying Relevant, Sam said his phone 'blew up' after Zara posted the snap of her locking lips with Louis last week. He said: "I'm watching some YouTube video and my phone just starts blowing up. I thought I'd been cancelled!' Sam continued: 'Mate it's dinged up, you know when everyone is like, 'Just checking in mate, is everything ok?' and I'm looking at my phone like 'What is going on?' 'And genuinely you know what it's like when you don't quite know what's happened so you think the worst. Tell you what though, I wouldn't wish a hard launch on my worst enemy though.' It comes after Pete admitted he never liked one of Sam's exes, but wouldn't say which one. During one episode of their podcast, Pete agreed to take a lie detector test and was asked by Sam: "Have you any disliked any of my previous partners?" Hesitating for a second, he then laughed and said "yes." After he was revealed to be telling the truth Sam squealed: "Yes, truthful!" Earlier in the week, the reality star asked fans for help as he admitted he was struggling post Zara. Talking to the listeners on Hits Radio, he revealed he was using dating app, Hinge. Sam confessed: "I'm on Hinge everybody. I have decided to give dating apps a go, because the dating world is the trenches out there and I need a bit of help." While Sam had no issues choosing the perfect pictures and videos of himself to show off his best qualities, he admitted that answering the prompts had left him frustrated. The reality TV star joked: "One of them is 'I'd fall for you if...' And I just don't know what I think, to be honest with you I'd fall for you if you say you like me. If you turn round and say I like you, I'm done that's all it takes with me. And 'my cry in the car song?' Anything by One Direction really...."

Strictly Come Dancing's Ellie Goldstein's passionate plea to bosses – 'Please'
Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Goldstein has made her feelings very clear while being announced as the ninth contestant for the programme, and she has her eyes on one pro dancer A Strictly Come Dancing star has already issued a plea to show bosses. Model and disability activist Ellie Goldstein was announced today as the ninth contestant for the programme, which has been a dream come true for her. The 23-year-old from Ilford has always spoken about how much she loves the programme and, after watching it from the audience, dreamed of taking part as a celebrity. During Wednesday's edition of BBC Breakfast with Jon Kay and Sarah Campbell, Ellie emerged from behind a pair of dancers as they revealed she would be taking part. Ellie said she was "honoured and excited" to take part in the show, but while rehearsals are currently underway, she has pleaded with bosses to partner her with Nikita Kuzmin. "I like Strictly, I watch every episode, my best partner is Nikita, I love him," she gushed. It comes after a Strictly Come Dancing star pulls out of show as he makes career announcement. When Jon asked if Ellie wanted to be partnered with Nikita, Ellie responded: "I want him, please, I love him so much!" She added: "I love him!" But why does she want to dance with Nikita? She said: "He's good looking, he's got a heartwarming, loving smile – making me happy. "He's sexy, hot, fit, all the things for me. I want to marry him at one point!" When Jon asked if taking part in the show was simply about finding love, Ellie jokingly said it was. Sharing her delight at being part of the line-up, the model who became the first person with Down syndrome to be on the cover of British Vogue, said: "I'm absolutely over the moon to be joining the cast and pros of Strictly Come Dancing this year. It's a show I've loved watching for so long, and the chance to now be part of it feels like a dream. "I know it's going to be challenging, but I'm ready to do it with the glitter and glamour and make some magic on that dancefloor. Let the Strictly journey begin!" She went on to tell Jon and Sarah: "I think it'll be scary at first, but when I get on the ballroom, I'll be like, 'I'll be free', and I can dance." Fans have already taken to social media to express their joy at the potential pairing, with one writing: "This warms my heart so much." A second penned: "Yesss!! Ellie & Nikita for the win." Meanwhile, a third went on to write: "Love to see this. Just feel the warmth and the power of inclusion. Unfiltered. I've learned so much from people with learning disability. @BBCBreakfast has always been their platform. Just a great watch." "So pleased for Ellie and this is going to be a brilliant series already I just know it," said another. Ellie has never shied away from sharing her love for Strictly and described dancing as her "favourite thing in the world." Get Strictly 2025 updates straight to your WhatsApp!
