The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2012 and created by perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, Plum Blossom by Jo Malone London is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that encapsulates the essence of delicate floral beauty intertwined with earthy warmth. The opening notes of plum blossoms are fresh and crisp, evoking a sense of spring's arrival. As it settles into a musky, powdery base, the scent becomes enveloping and comforting, much like stepping into an intimate space filled with soft florals and woody undertones.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms gradually over time, so applying it lightly is recommended. Allow it to settle on your skin for about 15 minutes before heading out to ensure you capture its full complexity. It pairs well with layered clothing, allowing the scent to be more intimate and personal.
