The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

White Lilac & Rhubarb by Jo Malone London was launched in 2012 as part of the brand's limited London Blooms collection. This fragrance is a creation by perfumer Christine Nagel, and it captures the essence of an English garden at its most vibrant. The composition opens with fresh rhubarb, adding a tart and crisp freshness that contrasts beautifully with the sweet, floral notes of white lilac and rose. The subtle sweetness of heliotrope rounds out this aromatic blend, creating a fragrance that is both romantic and refreshing.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The fresh top notes of rhubarb are most prominent initially but give way to the floral heart within two hours. For longer-lasting warmth, layer it over a light moisturizer.
