Jo Loves Pomelo Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Jo Malone. Pomelo Oud opens with Pomelo, Orange, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Oud, and Patchouli. Jo Loves's Pomelo Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, clearly. Some reckon it's a jarring mash-up, others are pleasantly surprised by the bold lemon and oud combo. Definitely not for the faint of heart, so try before you buy.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong oud and citrus combination makes this a bit too bold for a quiet office, but it would certainly make a statement on a date or a night out. It's versatile enough for casual wear if you're feeling adventurous, though perhaps a bit much for a formal event.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

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

A zesty explosion of pomelo and orange kicks things off, brightened by a hint of pink pepper. As it settles, a floral heart of rose, jasmine, and magnolia emerges, but it's quickly overshadowed by a strong, leathery oud. The base is an earthy, woody blend of vetiver, patchouli, and cedar, grounding the vibrant citrus with a mysterious depth.
