Launched in 2010 by Jo Malone London and crafted by perfumer Christine Nagel, Rose Water & Vanilla is a fragrance that encapsulates the essence of floral sweetness with an aromatic twist. The composition opens with neroli and petitgrain, creating a fresh green aroma that contrasts beautifully with the rich vanilla notes that follow. Loukhoum, a sweet almond-based confection, adds depth to the heart, while musk and patchouli in the base provide warmth and longevity.

Application Tips
This fragrance has a strong presence from the start, so one or two sprays are sufficient. Allow it to settle for about five minutes before heading out. It pairs well with lighter scents during warmer months but can also be layered with heavier fragrances in cooler weather.
