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 Freesia, Peach, and Pineapple, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Cypress. 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.
