Eden Perfumes No.486 Blackberry & Bay is an Eau de Parfum. No.486 Blackberry & Bay opens with White Flowers and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Bay Leaf and Blackberry, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Vetiver. Eden Perfumes's No.486 Blackberry & Bay carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A close-enough take on Jo Malone's Blackberry & Bay cologne - the tart grapefruit-into-blackberry transition and herbal bay leaf heart land well, though Eden's version fades to a simpler woody base rather than the original's more nuanced fruity-green balance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.486 opens on a zingy, slightly tart grapefruit note layered with soft white flowers, giving a fresh, green first impression close to a freshly mown lawn - a strong echo of Jo Malone's original. Blackberry moves in through the heart, jammy and dark without becoming syrupy, while bay leaf adds a herbal, slightly peppery lift that keeps the fruit from feeling too sweet. This blackberry-bay pairing is the fragrance's most convincing resemblance to the designer original, capturing its light, unfussy character well. The base settles into vetiver and cedar, offering a clean, woody finish that is a touch more simple and one-dimensional than Jo Malone's original, which carries a bit more depth and fruity-green interplay through the drydown. Performance is modest, as expected from a cologne-style fragrance - it sits close to the skin after the first hour and doesn't project much beyond arm's length, mirroring the original's famously light, layerable design rather than working against it. A solid everyday spring or summer fragrance for anyone who likes Jo Malone's understated British-countryside aesthetic without the price tag.
