The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Blackberry & Bay Cologne by Jo Malone London was launched in 2021, crafted by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin. The fragrance opens with the bright, juicy burst of blackberries, which contrasts beautifully against the fresh and herbal notes of bay leaf. As it settles, a woody base of cedar emerges, grounding the composition with warmth and depth. This is a scent that captures the essence of a late summer afternoon, where the sweetness of ripe berries meets the crispness of an aromatic garden.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — its top notes are bright and can be overpowering if used too heavily. The cedar base develops slowly over time, so let it settle for about an hour before reapplying if needed. It pairs well with casual daytime activities but also holds up through the evening.
