Jo Malone London Star Magnolia is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Anne Flipo. Star Magnolia opens with Shiso, Lemon, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Neroli and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Amber and Cedar. Jo Malone London's Star Magnolia carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some rave about its sublime freshness, describing it as 'happiness in a bottle', while others find it merely pleasant, or even compared it to less-than-glamorous smells. Expect a light, airy floral that might surprisingly morph into something you adore after a few wears.

Its fresh, clean, and moderate sillage makes it an excellent choice for office wear, not overpowering colleagues. The light floral and citrus notes are perfect for casual daytime activities, providing a 'fresh out of the shower' feel, but its poor longevity reduces its suitability for formal events.

About

Star Magnolia opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon, swiftly followed by an intriguing herbal nuance from shiso and a subtle kick of ginger. The heart unfolds into a creamy, luminous magnolia, softened by neroli's delicate, honeyed floralcy. It settles into a clean, fresh base where a whisper of cedar and warm amber provides a gentle, grounding finish, keeping it light and airy throughout.
