Jo Malone is a quintessentially British fragrance brand that has created some award-winning scents with a cult following – you’ve probably heard of their Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Lime Basil & Mandarin scents!
Founded in 1994, Jo Malone has since made a name for themselves as a creator of elegant and unique scents, many of which are inspired by Britain. They are now an iconic luxury fragrance brand, known for their beautiful glass bottles and stunning cream and black packaging, along with their amazing scents, of course!
Jo Malone perfumes can also be layered to create your own bespoke scent, so you can tailor something to your mood or an occasion.

Peony & Blush Suede Cologne
This would probably have to be my favourite Jo Malone perfume (although it’s a tough call!). Luxurious and seductive, this quintessential floral fragrance has notes of red apple and the softness of suede. It’s a soft floral fragrance that’s fresher than your traditional floral scents.
Fragrance notes:
Red apple: A crisp note that captures the mouth-watering juiciness of apple, opening the fragrance with an innocent, fruity twist.
Peony: An exquisite floral with delicate rose and honey accents and a subtle, green freshness. Fills the fragrance with the scent of peonies, just as they unfold.
Suede: A supple textural note, complementing the floral opulence of peony and bringing enticing sensuality to the fragrance.
English Pear & Freesia Cologne
Capturing the essence of autumn, English Pear & Freesia is a delicate blend of ripened pears, wrapped in a bouquet of white freesias, and mellowed by amber, patchouli and woods.
Fragrance notes:
King William Pear: An unusual, innovative ingredient, this accord of mellow scented fruit is fresh and ripe with a juicy facet.
Freesia: Quintessentially English, cool white freesias imbue the heart of the fragrance with a delicate yet distinctive scent.
Patchouli: A sensuously deep, woody note that enhances the longevity of the fragrance.
Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne
A cult-classic Jo Malone perfume, Lime Basil & Mandarin is their signature fragrance. A modern classic, peppery basil and aromatic white thyme bring an unexpected twist to the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze.
Fragrance notes:
Mandarin: Bright and tart, mandarin blends with the zestiness of lime to bring a vibrant freshness to the top notes
Basil: The herbaceous warmth of basil, with a peppery edge, adds an unexpected twist to the vibrant citrus notes.
Amberwood: A woody note with an amber-like scent that brings addictive warmth to the fragrance.
Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
This is one of my favourite perfumes for layering with other Jo Malone fragrances. Uplifting and refreshing, Sea Salt is blended with the aromatic and earthy tones of Sage. A beautiful daytime fragrance, designed to remind you of the ocean’s waves and transport you to the English seaside.
Fragrance notes:
Ambrette Seeds: Their textural quality wraps the fragrance with an aura of sophistication.
Sea Salt: The crunchy nature of sea salt brings both texture and a sense of freshness.
Sage: Woody with earthy, aromatic tones that bring a natural depth.
Nectarine Blossom & Honey Cologne
Crafted with London’s Covent Garden market in mind, succulent nectarine, peach and cassis and delicate spring flowers melt into the note of acacia honey. This is a sweet and delightfully playful fragrance that makes one of Jo Malone best sellers.
Fragrance notes:
Cassis: Intensely juicy and ripe, it gives a crisp edge to the fragrance.
Acacia Honey: This deliciously honeyed note suffuses the scent with its smooth, sweet accents of beeswax and blossoms.
Peach: A lusciously, juicy note, succulent with textural velvety softness.
Wild Bluebell Cologne
Charming, fresh and delicately sweet, this is a beautiful floral fragrance that’s perfect for summer. It layers beautifully with other Jo Malone colognes too. The delicate sweetness of dewy bluebells suffused with lily of the valley and eglantine, and a luscious twist of persimmon.
Fragrance notes:
Bluebell: A wild flower accord, blended with notes of crisp, green leaves, the balsamic sweetness of spicy clove buds and a subtle dewy accent.
Persimmon: A milky-peach note with clean, creamy undertones.
White Musk: Powdery and clean, it enhances the trail of the scent, adding a softness that endures.
Poppy & Barley Cologne
This lively, inviting floral scent is enhanced by rose and violet and topped with juicy blackcurrants.
Fragrance notes:
Blackcurrant: Intensely juicy and ripe, it gives a crisp edge to the fragrance.
Poppy: A green, floral note and adds a fresh and crispy facet to the fragrance.
Barley: An aerial woody note. Adds a musky, cereal tone to the fragrance.
Blackberry & Bay Cologne
Vibrant and verdant, a burst of deep, tart blackberry juice blends with the freshness of just-gathered bay and brambly woods.
Fragrance notes:
Blackberry: Releasing an instant burst of juiciness, natural blackcurrant buds add a fruity, slightly tart accent, while bucco tree essence suggests the lively, crunchy-green character of blackberry leaves.
Bay Leaves: An accord based on the natural note of galbanum it brings vegetal brightness and a wonderful green quality to the fragrance.
Cedarwood: Its woody, dry character imbues the base with charismatic intensity.
