The story behind the bottle.
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.
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.
