The story behind the bottle.
Elderflower & Gooseberry by Jo Malone London, launched in 2013 and crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel, is part of the brand's Sugar & Spice limited edition collection. This floral fruity fragrance captures the essence of crushed green gooseberries, juicy lychee, and delicate elderflower. The composition balances the tartness of gooseberry with the sweetness of lychee, while the elderflower adds a gentle floral touch that makes it both refreshing and inviting.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of this bright composition. The fruity top notes are particularly fresh and vibrant, so avoid layering with other strong scents to let them shine through. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its refreshing character can be fully appreciated.
