Launched in 2023 by Vilhelm Parfumerie and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, Sparkling Jo is a Woody Spicy fragrance that embodies the essence of unexpected freshness. Opening with champagne and bergamot, it creates an immediate sense of effervescence and brightness, while juniper and ginger add a subtle spiciness that cuts through the sweetness. The heart of ambrette and champaca brings a floral warmth, transitioning into a base of musk, ambergris, oak, and cedar that grounds the composition with earthy depth.
Composition & Character
How It Wears
Application Tips
This fragrance projects well due to its aldehydic top notes, so a single spray is usually sufficient. The champagne and bergamot opening fades within an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear when you want a fresh start that transitions into warmth as the day progresses.

The story behind the bottle.
The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where crisp citrus and floral notes mingle with woodsy undertones.
