Jo Malone London Silver Birch & Lavender is a Cologne launched in 2020, created by Yann Vasnier. Silver Birch & Lavender opens with Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Birch. Jo Malone London's Silver Birch & Lavender carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive ode to contemporary masculinity, either a refined take on the 'blue' fragrance DNA or just another shouty Sauvage wannabe. Expect to either love its clean, woody lavender or dismiss it as generic aftershave.

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

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender

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 a brisk, slightly bitter grapefruit, giving way to a dry, aromatic lavender heart. The dry-down settles into a woody embrace of birch, hinting at faint leather and a touch of smoky depth. It's a clean-cut, fresh composition with a distinct masculine lean, evoking the scent of a classic barbershop rather than a floral garden.
