Jo Malone CBE

Perfumer

The name Jo Malone is synonymous with posh fragrances and fancy candles. But there’s so much more to Joanne Lesley Malone CBE than meets the nose!

In this episode of Three Food Memories recorded in Sydney, Savva chats with Jo about her formative years, becoming a global name in perfume (not once, but twice), surviving breast cancer after a nine-month diagnosis, how food and scent are intertwined through her life, and how she was once asked to leave a fancy restaurant for being too tipsy!

Jo’s positivity and love for life breathe through this conversation, because as she says “I’ve got to live my best life, otherwise what did I fight for?”

Her social cause is Magic Breakfast who make a difference to over 200,000 young people every day by offering breakfasts and expert advice to tackle morning hunger in schools across England and Scotland.
