Jo Malone London Red Hibiscus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Red Hibiscus opens with Mandarin, Cardamom, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Hibiscus, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Incense. Jo Malone London's Red Hibiscus carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a tease. Beautiful, complex, and intriguing on first sniff, but it quickly falls flat with its lacklustre performance. Expect compliments, but only if people get really, really close. Overpriced for what you get.

About

An opulent floral opens with a zesty kick of mandarin and a warming spice from ginger and cardamom. Soon, a lush bouquet of hibiscus, jasmine, and ylang-ylang unfurls, bringing a deep, creamy sweetness that hints at tropical climes. The dry down is a comforting embrace of amber, soft vanilla, and a whisper of incense, creating an inviting, subtly mysterious finish.
