Jo Malone London 2013 Cologne

U ££

Saffron

Jo Malone London Saffron is a Cologne launched in 2013. Saffron opens with Incense, Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Iris, Sandalwood, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Woody, Guaiac Wood, Musk, and Amber. Jo Malone London's Saffron carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, unique blend of saffron and woods, but Jo Malone's usual tricks mean it vanishes quicker than your hopes of finding a full-sized bottle at a decent price. Loved by many, but its shocking performance will have you fuming.

Date

Its intimate projection makes it ideal for office wear, avoiding any olfactory assaults on colleagues. While pleasant for dates or casual outings, its poor longevity means it won't last through a full evening, a common complaint among reviewers.

About

Opens with a fleeting burst of spicy pink pepper and airy bergamot, quickly followed by a rich, warm saffron that takes centre stage. Creamy sandalwood and soft iris emerge, balanced by subtle smoky incense. The dry down settles into a soft, woody musk with hints of amber and guaiac wood, creating a smooth, cosy skin scent.
