Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne

Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne was launched in 1999, created by perfumer Christine Nagel. This fragrance is a signature Jo Malone creation, celebrated for its fresh, zesty, and aromatic character. It combines vibrant citrus with aromatic basil and a subtle woody base, resulting in a modern classic that feels lively, sophisticated, and effortlessly versatile.

The fragrance opens with sparkling top notes of lime, mandarin, and bergamot. The lime provides a crisp, tangy brightness, mandarin adds a juicy sweetness, and bergamot contributes a slightly bitter, aromatic lift. Together, these citrus notes create an invigorating and refreshing introduction.

At the heart, aromatic basil and thyme bring a green, herbaceous dimension. Basil adds a peppery, aromatic freshness, while thyme introduces subtle warmth and complexity. This herbal heart balances the citrus opening, giving the fragrance a distinctive, contemporary character.

The base is understated yet elegant, featuring notes of amberwood, patchouli, and white musk. Amberwood provides a soft, woody warmth, patchouli adds depth, and white musk creates a clean, lingering finish. This subtle base allows the citrus-herbal notes to shine while giving the fragrance a refined, lasting presence.
