Green Wheat & Meadowsweet

7.6

Jo Malone · 2018

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Jo Malone Green Wheat & Meadowsweet is a fresh, green unisex scent that leans towards spring and summer days; it has been discontinued. It opens with grapefruit and green wheat: citrus brightness alongside a grassy, lightly sweet greenness. Meadowsweet in the heart adds a soft floral touch, and vetiver settles the scent onto a dry, earthy base. Beneath the fresh, citrusy build, the sweet and spicy tones stay in the background. Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and winter is rarely chosen. It sits comfortably in leisure, daily and office wear. More voters find it feminine, though a good share read it as masculine.

Green Almond & Redcurrant

7.2

Jo Malone · 2017

Fresh · Floral · Green

Most voters recommend it for spring, fall and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Most voters call it feminine and modern. Citrus notes and red currant give the scent a bright, slightly sharp fruitiness. Green almond pulls it towards a green, creamy side, tonka bean softens the sweetness, and cedarwood lays a woody base underneath. As a whole it reads fresh, floral and lightly gourmand. Plume Impression Murmure d'Été and Rituals Nouwa have a close profile.
