Sweet Lemon

by Christine Nagel

Jo Malone London Sweet Lemon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Christine Nagel. Sweet Lemon opens with Rhubarb, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Peach, Pineapple, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cypress, Musk, and Cedar. Jo Malone London's Sweet Lemon carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Prepare for a proper punchy citrus affair; this isn't your average sweet lemon. It's a brisk, green, woody take that some adore and others find too sharp, dividing opinions cleanly down the middle.

About

Sweet Lemon opens with a sharp, zesty burst of lemon, bergamot, and the tartness of rhubarb, quickly giving way to a fruity heart of pineapple and peach without leaning into cloying sweetness. The base grounds this zest in earthy cypress and cedar, underscored by a clean musk. It’s a woody-citrus blend with a hint of green, far from a gourmand.
