Lemon Tart

Jo Malone · 2013

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Jo Malone Lemon Tart is a fresh, green citrus scent for women with a light sweetness on top; it has been discontinued. Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. The number of voters is small, so these ratings are a tendency rather than a firm measure. The notes read as a single whole: citrus fruits lead, vervain and broad-leaved thyme add a green freshness, and meringue softens the bright edge into something sweeter. The fruity accord rounds it out. Jeanne en Provence Verveine Cédrat and L'Occitane en Provence Verveine Mandarine have a close profile.

Peony & Moss

6.7

Jo Malone · 2012

Fresh · Floral · Green

Jo Malone Peony & Moss pairs peony, moss and blackcurrant in a green frame, a fresh floral for women that has been discontinued. The notes read as a single whole: green notes and ivy give it a cool, leafy feel, moss lays down an earthy base, peony carries the floral side, and blackcurrant adds a light fruity sharpness. Fresh, floral and green accords lead, while powdery, woody and spicy tones stay in the background, with a chypre touch underneath. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. There are no season or occasion votes, but the fresh, green character suggests a scent for daytime and quieter settings. Maison Margiela Promenade in the Gardens and Zara Rose have a close profile.

Waterlily

7.3

Jo Malone · 2020

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jo Malone Waterlily is a fresh, floral unisex scent, with citrus, aquatic and green tones leading and a light sweetness behind them. Neroli opens with a citrusy brightness. In the heart, jasmine sambac and water lily build the floral side, while the aquatic and green accords add a cool, damp feel. White musk in the base softens everything and leaves a clean, lightly sweet trail. Created by Mathilde Bijaoui in 2020, it is neither heavy nor spicy; it stays simple, fresh and floral.

Honeysuckle & Jasmine

5.8

Jo Malone · 1996

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jo Malone Honeysuckle & Jasmine is a fresh floral built on honeysuckle and jasmine, softened with sandalwood; it is unisex and has been discontinued. The scent reads as a single whole: honeysuckle and jasmine form a floral backbone, while sandalwood lays a warm, resinous softness underneath. A fresh, green character leads, citrus and fruity touches keep it light, and a faint sweetness and spice stay in the background. Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it sits close to the skin as a quiet fragrance. It suits anyone after a light, floral scent that doesn't lean masculine or feminine. Eau de Givenchy and Zielinski & Rozen Sandalwood, Jasmine have a close profile.

Oud & Bergamot Rich Extract

7.6

Jo Malone · 2017

Fresh · Aquatic · Green

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Rich Extract is a unisex scent that pairs a fresh, green, aquatic character with a woody, spicy base. Bergamot and orange give it a bright, fruity lift. Oud and cedarwood build a woody frame around it, while amber and praliné soften that frame and add a touch of sweetness. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though with few votes so far, those ratings are tentative. It sits comfortably on men and women alike. Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot and The Dua Brand Berga Aoud have a close profile.

Wisteria & Violet

7.4

Jo Malone · 2014

Fresh · Floral · Green

Jo Malone Wisteria & Violet is a fresh, floral unisex scent built on wisteria, violet and water lily. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. A fresh, green floral character leads; the powdery side of the violet and a sweet streak soften it, with a faint spicy touch staying in the background. Its sillage is moderate, though the number of votes is small, so that reading is tentative. It suits men and women alike. It has been discontinued. Hiram Green Vivacious and Demeter Fragrance Library Violet (Cologne) have a close profile.

Velvet Rose & Oud Rich Extract

8.3

Jo Malone · 2017

Floral · Sweet · Gourmand

Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud Rich Extract pairs damask rose with oud, clove and praliné, giving a sweet, spicy unisex scent. Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though these ratings rest on only a handful of votes. It reads as dense and can be worn by men and women alike. A floral, sweet body carries a resinous, oriental depth. Damask rose leads, oud lays a darker base beneath it, praliné adds a gourmand softness and clove brings spicy warmth, while maté stays in the background. Powdery and chypre touches keep it balanced. Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (Cologne Intense) and The Dua Brand Aoud Velrose have a close profile.
