Jo Malone London
Lime Basil & Mandarin is Jo Malone London's first signature scent and a precise introduction to the house. Mandarin and lime meet peppery basil, white thyme, and amberwood; the composition can be worn alone or used in considered layering.
About the brand
Jo Malone London
Lime Basil & Mandarin opens with mandarin and lime. Compare the juiciness and acidity of the two citrus notes, then allow the opening to soften before judging the whole composition. The first minutes do not reveal its base.
Peppery basil and white thyme add an aromatic herbal dimension. It changes the familiar citrus direction and is best followed on skin without a second fragrance or accidental mixing.
Amberwood provides a warm base reference. Test actual longevity and density through a full wear, since the material list cannot determine individual development or projection.
Jo Malone London suggests wearing fragrances alone or in layers. Learn Lime Basil & Mandarin by itself first, then add only one composition; this makes the new accent and change to the original easier to understand.
