The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2021 and crafted by perfumer Nicolas Bonneville, Tangy Rhubarb Cologne by Jo Malone London is a refreshing take on the citrus aromatic genre. The fragrance opens with a bold burst of rhubarb, which brings a tangy freshness that cuts through the sweetness often associated with fruity notes. This is complemented by the warm and zesty middle note of orange, creating an unexpected yet harmonious blend. The base of cedar adds a grounding warmth, ensuring the composition remains fresh and engaging throughout the day.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance with one or two sprays to capture its bright top notes. The rhubarb opens quickly but fades within an hour, so reapply if you want the freshness to last throughout the day. The woody base provides a subtle warmth that pairs well with both casual and more formal settings.
