Jo Malone London French Lime Blossom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Jo Malone. French Lime Blossom opens with Bergamot and Petitgrain, and dries down to a base of Beeswax. Jo Malone London's French Lime Blossom carries a Favourite verdict, a textural-led wear.

This one's a divisive one. Loved by many as a true-to-life linden blossom experience, others find it too soapy, too sweet, or akin to men's shaving foam. Definitely sample before committing.

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.

Its fresh, clean floral character makes it quite versatile for casual and daytime wear, though its soapy aspects might not suit everyone for a date or formal event. Some find its sillage rather strong, which could be overwhelming for an office setting, though others note it stays close, suggesting varying performances.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

French Lime Blossom opens with a bright, crisp burst of petitgrain and bergamot, quickly softening into a lush, honeyed yellow floral heart dominated by linden blossom. Lily-of-the-valley and jasmine add a fresh, white floral nuance, while a noticeable beeswax base provides a warm, sweet underpinning. The overall impression is a delicate, green floral, often with a clean, soapy facet.
