Tobacco & Mandarin

by Yann Vasnier

Jo Malone London Tobacco & Mandarin is a Cologne launched in 2017, created by Yann Vasnier. Tobacco & Mandarin settles into a heart of Sage, Mandarin, Tobacco, and Beeswax. Jo Malone London's Tobacco & Mandarin carries a Statement verdict, a tobacco-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from fresh citrus to a warm, tobacco-honey hug. Some find it a fleeting, soapy disappointment, while others rave about its smooth, rich depth. It's a love-it-or-find-it-banal scenario.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office
Also Works:
Date Casual

Its generally light projection and clean undertones make it a good fit for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. Despite its warmth, the subtle sillage means it's not ideal for commanding attention in formal settings or for the dynamism of sport, but works well for a casual outing or understated date.

About

Tobacco & Mandarin opens with a zesty burst of mandarin orange, bright and invigorating, quickly settling into a surprisingly clean and almost soapy freshness. This gives way to a honeyed tobacco heart, infused with the aromatic greenness of sage and a soft, sweet beeswax. The dry-down is a cosy blend of creamy, almost powdery tobacco, retaining a whisper of its initial citrus lift.
