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 and Lily, and dries down to a base of 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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter
Also Works:
Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

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.
