Jo Malone London Nutmeg & Ginger is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Jo Malone. Nutmeg & Ginger opens with Ginger, settles into a heart of Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Sandalwood. Jo Malone London's Nutmeg & Ginger carries a Statement verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its fresh, spicy kick or find it too sharp and reminiscent of cleaning products. A true 90s classic for ginger and nutmeg fans, but don't expect it to last ages.

About

Nutmeg & Ginger opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of fresh ginger, quickly joined by the warm, earthy embrace of nutmeg. As it settles, creamy sandalwood and dry cedar emerge, grounding the spices in a comforting, woody base. It's a clean, subtly powdery aroma, devoid of sweetness, offering an aromatic rather than gourmand experience.
