The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Pierre Negrin crafted Orris & Sandalwood for Jo Malone London in 2016, creating a fragrance that marries the powdery elegance of orris with the earthy warmth of sandalwood. The composition opens with a delicate floral note from violet and iris, which then gives way to an ambery-musky base that reads as both comforting and subtly alluring. This balance between the refined and the grounding makes it a scent for those who appreciate understated luxury.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best close to the skin, so apply it directly on pulse points. The powdery notes are quick to settle, while the woody base unfolds slowly over time. It's perfect for cooler evenings when you want a subtle warmth that lingers.
