Launched in 2010, Iris & White Musk by Jo Malone London captures the essence of sophistication and elegance with its powdery, musky base notes that are balanced by the crispness of white iris. Perfumer Christine Nagel crafted this fragrance as part of the Cologne Intense Collection, inspired by the fragrant traditions of the Middle East. The scent opens with a blend of white iris and Casablanca lily before settling into an earthy, slightly animalic musk that creates a warm and inviting aura.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms slowly, so apply it in layers to build intensity. The powdery iris note is most prominent close to skin, making it best suited for intimate settings or daytime wear when you want a subtle yet sophisticated presence.
