The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, Mimosa & Cardamom by Jo Malone London is an Oriental Floral fragrance crafted by perfumer Marie Salamagne. The composition opens with a bright burst of cardamom, which creates an aromatic and spicy tension before giving way to the delicate sweetness of mimosa. This floral heart adds warmth and softness, while tonka bean in the base provides a powdery, sweet depth that lingers on the skin.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays for a balanced experience. The aromatic top notes will fade within an hour, but the warm base notes will persist throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than in the air, so avoid over-application.
