Jo Malone London Carrot Blossom & Fennel is a Cologne launched in 2016, created by Anne Flipo. Carrot Blossom & Fennel opens with Fennel and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Carrot, Neroli, Rose, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Violet. Jo Malone London's Carrot Blossom & Fennel carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This one is a divisive Jo Malone release, but if you're after something genuinely unique and don't mind a bit of a herbal punch, it's worth a sniff. Some find it a fresh, clean surprise, while others are entirely put off by its peculiar notes.

Its moderate sillage and 'clean' character make it suitable for office and casual wear without being overpowering. It's too unconventional for most formal settings, and while fresh, it lacks the bright energy often desired for sport.

About

An unusual aromatic green creation that opens with a distinct, almost medicinal fennel and wormwood sharpness. This quickly softens, giving way to a powdery heart of carrot and apricot, with subtle hints of rose and neroli. The dry-down reveals a clean, musky violet and earthy patchouli, creating a unique, somewhat unconventional freshness that some describe as luxurious soap or even 'gripe water'. It’s certainly not a straightforward floral or fruity affair.
