The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Nutmeg & Ginger by Jo Malone London, launched in 1990 and crafted by perfumer Jo Malone herself, is a Woody Spicy fragrance for women and men. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes of nutmeg and ginger, creating an invigorating warmth that transitions into woody and powdery accords, grounding the scent with a subtle earthiness. This fragrance stands as one of Jo Malone’s earliest creations, embodying her signature blend of freshness and warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance lightly to pulse points — the citrus-spice blend is bright enough to fill a room but can be overpowering if used too heavily. It pairs well with cooler weather, where its warmth feels especially inviting.
