The Story

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.

Application Tips

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.

Christine Nagel portrait
I think of fragrance as fabric — it should drape beautifully around whoever wears it.

Christine Nagel is the in-house perfumer at Hermès, succeeding the legendary Jean-Claude Ellena in 2016. A graduate of ISIPCA and trained at Charabot in Grasse, she brings decades of experience to one of perfumery's most prestigious creative positions. Nagel's work for Hermès — including Twilly, Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver, and the Jardin series — continues the house's tradition of understated elegance while introducing her own luminous, textured sensibility. She has also created masterpieces for Jo Malone, Narciso Rodriguez, and Valentino.
