Jo Malone London Iris & Lady Moore is a Cologne launched in 2012, created by Christine Nagel. Iris & Lady Moore settles into a heart of Iris and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Jo Malone London's Iris & Lady Moore carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of frag, often divisive and polarising. Iris & Lady Moore can be beautiful and sophisticated or a complete baby powder bomb, depending on your skin chemistry and tolerance for vintage vibes. Definitely try before you buy.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Fall

Its iris, aromatic and earthy composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate sillage and powdery floral nature make it suitable for office wear and casual outings, leaning towards the more refined end of casual. While elegant, its vintage feel might not make it a top choice for modern dates, but it can work for semi-formal settings. It's too delicate and clean for sport.

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

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

Iris & Lady Moore kicks off with a fresh, slightly peppery hit of vetiver, quickly melting into the star of the show: a powdery, starchy iris. Geranium adds a gentle, almost rose-like floral softness, keeping the earthy woodiness of the vetiver from dominating. It settles into a delicate, elegant, and often vintage-leaning powdery floral drydown.
