Jo Malone London Elderflower & Gooseberry is a Cologne launched in 2013, created by Christine Nagel. Elderflower & Gooseberry opens with Litchi, and settles into a heart of Elderflower and Gooseberry. Jo Malone London's Elderflower & Gooseberry carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This one's divisive; some love its creamy, nostalgic sweetness, while others find it cloying or artificial. It's a unique, powdery fruity floral that evokes childhood confectionery and soft, warm afternoons. Don't expect realism, but if you like a playful, sweet scent, give it a go.

About

A delightful confection of elderflower and gooseberry, where sweet and tart litchi mingles with a distinct powdery warmth. It's a smooth, creamy affair, reminiscent of old-fashioned sweets or a delicate fruit tart, with a subtle floral touch. Far from a fresh, tropical splash, this leans into a comforting, dessert-like sweetness.
