Lotus Blossom & Water Lily

by Jo Malone

Jo Malone London Lotus Blossom & Water Lily is a Cologne launched in 2008, created by Jo Malone. Lotus Blossom & Water Lily opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lotus, Water Lily, and Honeysuckle, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Musk, and Amber. Jo Malone London's Lotus Blossom & Water Lily carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This discontinued Jo Malone scent still has a devoted following thanks to its fresh, unique floral aquatic profile. While a few find it a bit too sharp, most praise its delicate balance of citrus zest, dewy florals, and a surprisingly warm, smoky base, longing for its return.

About

A graceful aquatic floral composition, Lotus Blossom & Water Lily opens with a sparkling burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin, bright and invigorating. It quickly melts into a serene heart where the star notes of lotus and water lily bloom, complemented by soft honeysuckle, freesia, and jasmine. The dry down introduces a gentle woody depth with guaiac wood and sandalwood, warmed by amber, musk, and a subtle whisper of incense, creating a tranquil and clean finish.
