Jo Malone London London Rain Wisteria & Violet is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Christine Nagel. London Rain Wisteria & Violet opens with Water Lily, settles into a heart of Wisteria and Violet, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Jo Malone London's London Rain Wisteria & Violet carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a divisive one. You'll either get swept away by its 'violet candy' sweetness and nostalgic charm, or you'll be put off by its 'grape juice' opening and lack of warmth. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite the lovely name.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its soft, relatively subtle character and fresh floral notes make it suitable for casual wear or even the office, provided you don't over-spray. It's not assertive enough for formal events, and certainly not built for sport.

About

Imagine a cool, damp garden path after a spring shower. This fragrance opens with a fresh, almost watery water lily note, quickly joined by the sweet, powdery embrace of wisteria and violet. There’s a distinct 'violet candy' sweetness that some adore, while others find it a bit too much. A subtle, earthy hint of patchouli peeks through, grounding the ethereal florals and adding a touch of leafy comfort to the otherwise cool and rainy floral bouquet.
