Iris & White Musk

by Christine Nagel

Jo Malone London Iris & White Musk is a Cologne launched in 2010, created by Christine Nagel. Iris & White Musk settles into a heart of Iris, Lily, and Musk. Jo Malone London's Iris & White Musk carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This one's a divisive wildcard. Some love its clean, 'your skin but better' vibe, while others reckon it smells like industrial cleaner or a grandma's soap dish. Not a safe blind buy, but might just be your next signature scent if you're feeling adventurous.

Its moderate sillage and 'clean skin' feel make it suitable for casual wear and even the office, though some find it a bit too prominent. It's too unique and potentially polarising for formal events, and offers no energising freshness for sport.

About

Iris & White Musk opens with a sharp, almost medicinal kick, soon softening into an intriguing blend of powdery iris and a clean, yet ever-so-slightly 'dirty' white musk. The lily adds a subtle floral lift, preventing it from becoming too heavy, but the overall impression is one of soapy cleanliness with an earthy, animalic undertone.
