Elderflower Cordial Cologne opens with Gooseberry, settles into a heart of Elderflower, and dries down to a base of Dried Fruits. It lasts about 4 to 6 hours on skin, carries to about arm's length and is best in spring. Jo Malone London's Elderflower Cordial Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Tart gooseberry over a creamy elderflower, ending in soft dried fruits. A limited edition that tastes of summer squash and feels warm, powdery and comforting.

Top, heart and base are the pyramid as published, not a timing claim. Each note's timing follows its listed tier, where it usually sits across many published pyramids (from ScentPrism) and its vapour pressure. A note comes through as the notes usually listed before it fade, judged from how other pyramids order the same pair. The thickness of a ribbon shows the note's share of what is left on the skin, which tracks how strongly it smells, because odour thresholds rise with vapour pressure. The shares come from how prominent wearers vote each note. It is a simple model, not a measurement.

About

Elderflower Cordial opens with gooseberry, tart and a little playful, then moves swiftly into the sweetness of elderflower, which smells like the cordial itself. The heart goes soft and powdery. On skin it settles into dried fruits, giving the base a gentle, fruity warmth that is almost gourmand but never sticky or harsh. It was a limited edition, and it is easy to see why it is missed: it is a comfortable scent with a clear idea. Projection and staying power are moderate. Spring is its time, with summer a good second. It is easy at a desk and relaxed on casual days.
