If your peonies and irises aren't blooming fast enough this spring, treat yourself to the Jo Malone London Blooms Collection ($110 each for 100 milliliters; JoMalone.com). Choose the delicately floral and fresh Peony & Moss; or Iris & Lady Moore, sweet but with a little vetiver bite; or, our favorite, White Lilac & Rhubarb—an exhilarating blend of strong florals with an unexpected peppery snap.
