Jo Malone London Green Almond & Redcurrant is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Green Almond & Redcurrant opens with Red Currant, settles into a heart of Almond, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood. Jo Malone London's Green Almond & Redcurrant carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a divisive Christmas cracker - far from the sweet almond many expect. Its aggressively green, bitter opening gives way to a surprisingly comforting herbal nuttiness. Love it or hate it, it's definitely not your typical Jo Malone.

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.

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

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Opens with an impactful, almost sharp green almond, more bitter than sugary. This quickly cedes to a tart and juicy redcurrant, adding a fresh, fruity zing. The whole concoction then settles into a soft, nutty, and woody dry-down, underscored by creamy sandalwood. There's a subtle sweetness, but it's far from gourmand.
