Blossom Perfumery 490 Wood Sage & Sea Salt is an Eau de Parfum. 490 Wood Sage & Sea Salt opens with Ambrette, settles into a heart of Salt, and dries down to a base of Sage. Blossom Perfumery's 490 Wood Sage & Sea Salt carries an Acquired verdict, a salty-led wear.

490 sketches Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt with the same three-note minimalist structure, but the mineral sea-salt accord is saltier and more one-note where the original blends it seamlessly with a softer ambrette musk.

About

490 mirrors the deliberately spare, three-note construction of Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt - ambrette seed, sea salt, sage - rather than adding filler notes, which is the right instinct for this kind of minimalist fragrance. The ambrette opening is close, giving a similarly soft, musky-clean start. Where it diverges is in the sea-salt accord: Jo Malone's version reads as a subtle mineral breeze woven through the whole composition, while 490's rendition is more literally salty and sits more on the surface. The sage base is drier and less herbaceous-green than the original's grounding finish. It's a fair, breezy approximation of the coastal mood, thinner in longevity than the original but recognisably in the same family.
