Jo Malone London Sea Daffodil is a Cologne launched in 2022, created by Alexis Dadier. Sea Daffodil opens with Mandarin and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Jo Malone London's Sea Daffodil carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive summer scent that captures the essence of a sun-drenched beach, though some find its ylang-ylang and vanilla blend veers into sunscreen territory. Love it, and it's your new laid-back summer staple; hate it, and it's just another creamy coconut-tinged floral.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

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

Opens with the bright, subtle spice of mandarin and pink pepper, giving way to a creamy heart ruled by narcotic ylang-ylang and the elusive sea daffodil. This floral core melts into a warm, woody base of vetiver and sandalwood, smoothed over by a soft vanilla, creating a tropical and slightly powdery finish.
