Eden Perfumes No.488 Wood Sage & Sea Salt is an Eau de Parfum. No.488 Wood Sage & Sea Salt opens with Salt and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Ambrette and Sage, and dries down to a base of Driftwood and Musk. Eden Perfumes's No.488 Wood Sage & Sea Salt carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Eden's No.488 chases Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne almost note for note - salty air, herbal sage and driftwood - but flattens the original's subtle layering into a more linear, louder-opening salt accord that fades faster than the designer version.

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.488 is Eden Perfumes' take on Jo Malone London's Wood Sage & Sea Salt, one of the most widely worn coastal-aromatic scents around, and the brief here is faithful. The opening leads with a bright, briny sea salt accord alongside a touch of grapefruit freshness, before herbal sage and a soft ambrette warmth settle in through the middle. The base brings a gentle driftwood and musk finish that echoes the original's understated, sunlit-beach character. Where it diverges from Jo Malone's cologne is in balance rather than substance - the salt note is pushed louder and more immediate on application to make an impression quickly, while the woody-musk base fades sooner, giving it noticeably shorter longevity and a flatter, less textured dry-down than the real thing. It still delivers the same clean, breezy, minimalist mood that makes the original so easy to wear day to day, just with less persistence and depth over the following hours. As a cheap layering base or an everyday alternative for anyone who loves the coastal-aromatic genre, it captures the spirit convincingly; anyone chasing the exact refined sillage of the designer cologne will notice the gap by the afternoon.
