The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

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.

How to wear it

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.
