Jo Malone London Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Yann Vasnier. Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense opens with Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Jo Malone London's Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initial sniffs might scream "church incense", but give it time and you'll find a smoky, resinous amber that's surprisingly wearable. It's divisive, for sure - some find it too mature or fleeting, others call it Jo Malone's best.

About

Imagine the rich, golden glow of molten amber, deepened by the dark, sticky sweetness of labdanum. A ribbon of smooth vanilla weaves through, adding a creamy, almost gourmand edge, while a bright, zesty flick of bitter orange cuts through the richness, preventing it from becoming cloying. As it settles, a smoky, balsamic quality emerges, evoking ancient wood and whispered secrets.
