The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Sea Daffodil by Jo Malone London, launched in 2022 and crafted by Alexis Dadier, is an aromatic aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of coastal freshness and floral warmth. The opening notes of mandarin orange and pink pepper introduce a zesty brightness, while ylang-ylang and sea daffodil offer a delicate floral sweetness. This is balanced by a woody base of sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver, creating a composition that feels both uplifting and grounding.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply Sea Daffodil in light spritzes — its bright citrus top notes fade within two hours, but the warm vanilla and woody base notes linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than when diffused into a room.
