The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2016 by Jo Malone London and crafted by Pierre Negrin, Orris & Sandalwood Limited Edition is a fragrance that marries the powdery elegance of iris with the earthy warmth of sandalwood. The opening notes of aromatic iris set a crisp foundation, soon enveloped by the soft, musky undertones that give this scent its distinctive depth and comfort. This composition feels both lasting and modern, capturing the essence of Jo Malone's commitment to blending classic scents into contemporary elegance.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly to pulse points — it blooms gradually on skin. The powdery and musky notes take their time to develop, making this ideal for a day that transitions smoothly from office to evening dinner.
