Our verdict on Vetiver & Golden Vanilla: Favourite

This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Hits you with a complex vetiver-vanilla combo that's got everyone chatting. It's often compared to other heavy-hitters - and for once, the Jo Malone holds its own. Don't expect sweetness; do expect sophistication. It's definitely one of JM's better efforts, which might be why it's constantly rumoured to be discontinued.

About

Imagine a rich, dark golden vanilla that's anything but sweet or gourmand. It's swirled with an aromatic, earthy vetiver that's sometimes smoky, sometimes green, giving it a wonderfully dry character. A sharp burst of cardamom adds a spicy kick, while a hint of grapefruit brightens the opening before settling into a warm, sophisticated tea accord in the dry down. It's complex, layered, and intriguing, like a fine whisky sipped by a crackling fire.
