Jo Malone London Garden Lilies is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Yann Vasnier and Michael Nordstrand. Garden Lilies opens with Green, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Jo Malone London's Garden Lilies carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A subtle, natural-smelling floral that's fresh and inoffensive, but you'll be lucky if it lasts an hour. Prepare for a vanishing act that leaves you wanting more - and wondering if it's worth the price of admission.

Due to its light, inoffensive nature and poor longevity, this fragrance is best suited for an office setting or casual daytime wear where it won't overpower. It lacks the projection and presence for formal events or romantic dates, though its fleeting freshness makes it suitable for light activity.

About

Garden Lilies opens with an immediate aquatic floral sweetness, driven by the clean, dewy character of water lily and a lush green snap. Ylang-ylang adds a creamy, almost tropical softness as it settles, preventing it from leaning too sharp. A soft, unsweetened vanilla and a hint of musk emerge in the dry down, lending a powdery, gentle warmth that lingers ever-so-briefly.
