Jo Malone London Rose & Magnolia is a Cologne launched in 2019, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Rose & Magnolia opens with Magnolia and Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Amberwood. Jo Malone London's Rose & Magnolia carries a Favourite verdict, a rose-led wear.

This isn't your average Jo Malone; Rose & Magnolia is a divisive beast. Some adore its deep, spicy complexity, praising it as a sophisticated, modern rose. Others find the prominent pepper and patchouli overwhelming, leading to a 'medicinal' or 'plastic-y' vibe. Approach with caution, this one's a wildcard.

About

Rose & Magnolia is a daring twist on a classic floral. It opens with an unexpected hit of magnolia and a sharp, almost biting black pepper, immediately setting it apart. As the initial potency softens, a creamy, velvety rose unfurls, intertwining with the subtle greenness of geranium. The drydown reveals a grounding base of earthy patchouli, oakmoss, and a hint of warm amberwood, lending a sophisticated, slightly vintage character to the floral heart. This isn't a dewy, fresh rose; it's deep, spicy, and resonant.
