French Lime Blossom by Jo Malone London, launched in 1995, is a Floral Green fragrance that captures the essence of spring. The scent opens with vibrant citrus notes from bergamot and petitgrain, which give way to the delicate floral heart of lime blossom and lily-of-the-valley. This composition is further enriched by the sweet and aromatic undertones of jasmine, rose, and tarragon, grounded by the warm beeswax base. The fragrance embodies Jo Malone's lifelong passion for creating scents that evoke natural beauty.

Application Tips
French Lime Blossom is best applied in light sprays to the pulse points. The citrus top notes are bright but fleeting, so one or two sprays will ensure that the floral heart and warm base come through more prominently over time. This fragrance works particularly well during the day when you want a fresh, delicate scent.

“I couldn't afford to go to perfumery school. So I taught myself. Sometimes not knowing the rules is the greatest advantage.”
Jo Malone is a self-taught perfumer and entrepreneur who fundamentally changed how people think about wearing fragrance. With no formal training — she learned by mixing bath oils in her kitchen — she built Jo Malone London into a global luxury brand defined by its elegant simplicity and innovative layering concept. Her fragrances, including Lime Basil & Mandarin and English Pear & Freesia, are designed to be combined, creating a personal scent wardrobe rather than a single signature. After selling her brand to Estée Lauder, she returned to perfumery with Jo Loves, proving that her creative vision remains as vital as ever.
