Jo Malone London Sweet Lime & Cedar is a Cologne launched in 2008. Sweet Lime & Cedar opens with Pomelo, Blood Orange, Lime, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Ylang-Ylang, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Tonka Bean, and Tamarind. Jo Malone London's Sweet Lime & Cedar carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast: some reckon it's a sublime, signature-worthy blend of sweet lime and cedar, others just get hamster bedding. Expect mixed reactions, but if you're layering, it might just hit the sweet spot.

About

Sweet Lime & Cedar opens with a zesty, energetic burst of lime, blood orange, and passionfruit, given a subtle kick by pink pepper. As it settles, a clean, woody heart of cedar emerges, intertwined with creamy coconut, delicate jasmine, and a whisper of aromatic spices like cardamom and sage. The base deepens with the unique, tart sweetness of tamarind, grounded by warm amber and a soft tonka bean finish, creating a fresh yet comforting aroma with a distinct, woody backbone.
