Jo Malone London Midnight Musk & Amber is a Cologne launched in 2020, created by Anne Flipo. Midnight Musk & Amber opens with Juniper, settles into a heart of Amber, and dries down to a base of Musk. Jo Malone London's Midnight Musk & Amber carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent -- some reckon it's a cosy, clean hug in a bottle, while others find it cloying and reminiscent of toilet air freshener. It's an atmospheric musk-amber that packs a surprising punch for a Jo Malone, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Its strong projection and longevity, unusual for Jo Malone, make it less ideal for a discreet office environment. However, the warm and sensual amber-musk blend is perfect for dates and evening wear, and many reviewers find it versatile enough for cooler-weather casual use. It's too rich and heavy for sport.

About

Midnight Musk & Amber opens with a brisk, aromatic juniper-led freshness, hinting at cool, crisp nights. This swiftly gives way to a dominant, enveloping amber heart that's rich and deeply comforting. The base settles into a soft yet potent black musk, sometimes sweet, sometimes powdery, lending a sensual and long-lasting finish. It's a complex interplay of warm and cool notes, with a surprising depth for a cologne.
