Jo Malone London London Rain Rain & Angelica is a Cologne launched in 2014, created by Christine Nagel. London Rain Rain & Angelica opens with Lime and Rain, settles into a heart of Angelica, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Jo Malone London's London Rain Rain & Angelica carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive aquatic for sure - it's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Many adore its fresh rain-soaked vibe, while others find the angelica-vetiver drydown a bit too heavy or even 'unpleasant'. Clearly a crowd-pleaser for some, yet perplexing for others.

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.

Its fresh, clean aquatic and citrus accords make it ideal for casual wear and the office, avoiding anything too overpowering. While some find it suitable for day dates, the herbal, earthy drydown might be too unique for formal settings, with many reviewers enjoying its versatility for daytime use.

About

It opens with a zesty, tart lime and a photorealistic 'London rain' accord, truly capturing the essence of a spring shower. The heart introduces angelica, an herbal, slightly earthy green note that some find cool and refreshing, others a touch cloying. As it settles, a clean musk emerges, underpinned by a dry, woody vetiver base, evoking wet earth and riverbanks. It's an airy yet grounded aquatic experience.
