Jo Malone London Orange Bitters Cologne (2023) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Serge Majoullier. Orange Bitters Cologne (2023) opens with Orange and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Bitter Orange and Plum, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Jo Malone London's Orange Bitters Cologne (2023) carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive cologne that captures the authentic, festive essence of bitter orange. Some find it beautiful and cosy, others are underwhelmed by its fleeting nature and a 'cough medicine' opening. It's a proper winter citrus that works best in colder weather.

Its moderate projection and warm, inviting nature make it ideal for casual wear, especially during cooler seasons. While some find layering prolongs its wear for dates, its limited longevity and intimate sillage might be too subtle for formal events or the office. It's too subdued for sport.

About

Orange Bitters opens with a vibrant, photorealistic burst of sweet and bitter orange, reminiscent of a festive cocktail. As it settles, a rich plum note adds a quiet sweetness, beautifully blending with the warmth of amber. The base provides a creamy, grounding touch with sandalwood, creating a sophisticated and cosy citrus experience.
