The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2022, Velvet Rose & Oud Cologne Intense by Jo Malone London is an Oriental Floral fragrance that marries the intensity of a dark damask rose with the smoky depth of agarwood. The composition opens with the spicy warmth of cloves before giving way to the heart of Damask Rose, which is then enveloped in the rich, woody base notes of Agarwood and Nougat. This blend creates a magnetic scent that feels both structured and indulgent.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays for best effect — the warm spicy notes will linger close to your skin, while the base notes slowly unfold over time. This fragrance is particularly well-suited for cooler evenings or cozy indoor settings.
