Jo Malone London Hemlock & Bergamot is a Cologne launched in 2019, created by Yann Vasnier and Louise Turner. Hemlock & Bergamot opens with Bergamot and Cucumber, and settles into a heart of Canadian Hemlock, Floral Notes, Powdery, and Heliotrope. Jo Malone London's Hemlock & Bergamot carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This is a pretty, delicate spring daydream that gets people campaigning for its return. It's divisive though: some find it 'old lady' powdery whilst others adore its unique, clean greenness.

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

  • 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

Imagine strolling through a dewy spring garden, the air alive with the scent of fresh-cut greenery and delicate mimosa blooms. Hemlock & Bergamot opens with a cool, almost aquatic crispness of cucumber and bright bergamot, leading to a soft, airy floral heart. It settles into a natural, subtle powdery finish that evokes a clean, comforting embrace.
