Jo Loves Ebony & Cassis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Ebony & Cassis opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Date, Geranium, Nutmeg, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Jo Loves's Ebony & Cassis carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A darkly fruity, complex fragrance that really takes you on a journey. It's sophisticated, alluring, and definitely not for those who prefer simple scents. Prepare for compliments, but buyer beware - not a safe blind buy, as it polarises some noses with its unique character.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with an intriguing, almost smoky burst of dark fruit, heavily leaning into blackcurrant and dried date, which adds a chewy, resinous sweetness. As it evolves, a subtle woody depth from cedar emerges, anchoring the fruit, but it's the rich, almost amber-like warmth that truly defines the dry-down. This isn't a light fruity affair; it's dense, spiced, and full of sophisticated mystery.
