Jo Malone London Waterlily Cologne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Mathilde Bijaoui. Waterlily Cologne opens with Neroli, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk. Jo Malone London's Waterlily Cologne carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A divisive floral aquatic for Jo Malone, it's either a beautiful, delicate waterlily dream or a musty, sour mess. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation to see how it plays with your skin chemistry.

About

Opens with a sharp, green neroli, delivering an immediate fresh and aquatic punch. As it settles, the delicate, slightly sweet waterlily and jasmine notes emerge, creating a dewy, tranquil floral heart. The dry-down retains an aquatic freshness with a subtle, clean musk grounding the overall composition.
