Jo Loves Smoked Plum & Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Smoked Plum & Leather opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, and Plum, settles into a heart of Liquor, Smoke, Plum Blossom, and Leather, and dries down to a base of Cognac and Cedar. Jo Loves's Smoked Plum & Leather carries a Statement verdict, a smoky-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast. Many love the rich, mysterious blend of plum, smoke, and leather for its luxurious, seductive character. However, others find it leans too heavily into the smoky, leathery elements, dismissing the fruit as an afterthought or even absent altogether.

Given its strong smoky and leather accords, this is far too intense for office wear, which aligns with community reviews suggesting a 'mysterious olfactory ambience'. It excels for dates and formal events, creating an alluring and sophisticated presence. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling particularly bold, but sport is an absolute no-go.

About

Imagine a rich, boozy plum liqueur, its sweetness cut by a swirl of smoky cedar and warm cinnamon. The scent then deepens, revealing a plush, slightly animalic leather, reminiscent of an old-world study or a clandestine encounter. It's a journey from dark fruit sensuality to smouldering, sophisticated leather.
