Jo Malone London Colognes Wood Sage & Sea Salt

The fragrance is an ideal “Skin Scent” – basically your skin but better. It’s fresh, clean and airy, yet still grounded and sexy attributed to the woody notes of sage. It’s the perfect fragrance for those that are in between preferring fresh and preferring musk—neither of the two overpowering the other. Jo Malone London describes wearing it to be like “escaping the everyday along the windswept shore”, and I kid you not it is extremely evocative of the salty air of the ocean without being tropical. The most interesting aspect is that when one thinks of sea we envision sunny weather, warm humid air, palm trees, coconuts etc but this absolutely NOT all that! The feeling of this scent is that of a windy, cold-quite-grey pebble beach with drift wood and shrubs and sea spray in chill air. I find this to be a very refreshing differentiating concept.

This scent is absolutely gorgeous, light, fresh and ever so slightly woody. I popped into Jo Malone to pick up their honeysuckle fragrance but whilst testing some other fragrances I sprayed this and I was sold. The scent is relatively long lasting and the 30 ml sits perfectly in a handbag for a top up. It’s also absolutely lovely when layered with Peony & Blush Suede which I think would be a gorgeous and unique summer evening scent. Highly recommend!

Are you someone who loves a perfume that has a very fresh and sea-like scent? This is for you. This perfume is really my favorite, it is light, stays on for a long time, is not fruity and certainly not too strong. It gives the feeling of vacation, in a fresh way. The name says it all. I'm really happy about this and I don't know anyone who says these aren't their thing is! The best one. #nourishednewyear
