Jo Malone London English Oak & Hazelnut is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Yann Vasnier. English Oak & Hazelnut opens with Hazelnut, settles into a heart of Cedar, and dries down to a base of Oak. Jo Malone London's English Oak & Hazelnut carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive Jo Malone outing. Some find this woody, nutty concoction a fresh, clean, office-friendly delight, while others are disappointed by its lack of hazelnut and general 'aftershave' scent. It's an understated charmer, not a crowd-pleaser.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

This scent's clean, woody, and fresh profile makes it highly suitable for office and casual wear, as many users highlight its non-offensive nature. While generally subtle, its respectable longevity for a Jo Malone scent allows for versatility, though its understated character might be overlooked in formal settings or during vigorous sport.

About

Step into an English forest, damp and crisp, with English Oak & Hazelnut. The initial spray delivers a sharp, green hazelnut, quickly settling into a robust heart of cedar. This journey culminates in a warm, sophisticated drydown of smooth, earthy oak, carrying a subtle, almost sweet, woodiness.
