Jo Malone London Nettle & Wild Achillea is a Cologne launched in 2019, created by Yann Vasnier and Louise Turner. Nettle & Wild Achillea opens with Bergamot and Yarrow, settles into a heart of Nettle, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vetiver. Jo Malone London's Nettle & Wild Achillea carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

A surprisingly sharp and green take on florals, Nettle & Wild Achillea is either a wonderfully avant-garde herbal delight or a bit too sour for some. Expect a fresh, bright opening with an earthy backbone.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine wandering through a wild meadow after a spring shower; this scent bottles that moment. It opens with an invigorating burst of citrusy bergamot, quickly followed by the distinct, slightly peppery greenness of nettle and yarrow. A subtle floral heart blooms, grounded by a clean, musky base that adds a touch of skin-like warmth. It's fresh, herbaceous, and uniquely earthy-floral.
