More from Jo Malone London

Jo Malone London is a British fragrance house, founded by Jo Malone in 1990, known for simple, clearly drawn scents that often put two ingredients in the name. The mood is relaxed and easy to wear, with sea salt and clary sage on the fresh side and rose, amber, tonka bean and vanilla on the warmer one. Start with Wood Sage & Sea Salt, salty and marine over aromatic herbs. English Pear Freesia is fruity and softly floral, and Myrrh & Tonka is a sweet amber with a vanilla glow. Velvet Rose Oud is the dark one, rose over oud. Two or three small bottles make it easy to find your favourite.
