Nutmeg & Ginger

by Jo Malone

Jo Malone London Nutmeg & Ginger is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1990, created by Jo Malone. Nutmeg & Ginger settles into a heart of Nutmeg, Sandalwood, Cedar, and Ginger. 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.

Its moderate sillage and lack of sweetness make it suitable for office wear, but the distinct spicy character might be too bold for some formal events. Many reviews highlight its comforting and fresh qualities, making it ideal for casual, everyday use during cooler months.

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.
