Jo Malone London Orange Bitters Cologne 2025 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Serge Majoullier. Orange Bitters Cologne 2025 opens with Orange, Bitter Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Plum, and dries down to a base of Amber and Sandalwood. Jo Malone London's Orange Bitters Cologne 2025 carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive relaunch, Orange Bitters 2025 is a zesty, woody charmer for some, whilst for others, it's a shadow of its former, more 'bitter' self. If you're new to it, expect a juicy, versatile citrus that mellows into something refined and subtle.

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.

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

Exploding with a bright, juicy burst of bitter orange and mandarin, this scent opens like a vibrant citrus grove. As it settles, a sweet, dark plum note emerges, adding a fruity depth that's both comforting and intriguing. The dry down is a sophisticated blend of creamy sandalwood and warm amber, creating a gentle, woody finish that lingers subtly on the skin.
