Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot

Name: Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot Cologne
Brand: Jo Malone London

Jo Malone London Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot is a Cologne launched in 2025, created by Anne Flipo. Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot opens with Cardamom, Nutmeg, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Mate and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Labdanum. Jo Malone London's Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This festive Jo Malone offering aims for warm holiday spice but some find the apricot a bit shy. Expect a cozy, woody drydown with decent longevity for the brand, making it a surprisingly solid cool-weather choice, though it's not a groundbreaking gourmand.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, warm profile make it suitable for office wear, while the cozy and inviting scent lends itself well to casual and date settings. The spiced nature might be a bit too relaxed for highly formal events, and it's definitely not one for sport.

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

Sandalwood & Spiced Apricot unwraps with a delicate, juicy apricot, quickly intermingling with a warm, peppery hit of cardamom and nutmeg. This initial fresh spice gives way to a creamy sandalwood heart, deepened by rich vanilla and a hint of earthy patchouli. It settles into a soft, inviting woody amber, maintaining a subtle fruity sweetness without veering into full gourmand territory.
