Jo Malone London Dark Amber & Ginger Lily 100ml Perfume

$999.00

This Dark Amber & Ginger Lily fragrance was recommended to me during a winter scent feature with Bunny. Indeed, as she described, after testing it, I found little association with the ‘dark amber’ or ‘ginger lily’ suggested by the name. Instead, a smooth, milky sandalwood accented with balsamic notes runs consistently throughout, delivering impressive longevity.

Upon first application, there’s an immediate burst of spiciness from cardamom, pepper, and ginger—though this sensation is fleeting. Soon, a creamy, balsamic floral note emerges. The promised lily is not perceptible; rather, it resembles an abstract white floral softened by a velvety, milk-like sandalwood base. Overall, the scent leaves an impression of understated elegance.

The most prominent elements in Dark Amber & Ginger Lily are clearly frankincense and sandalwood. If you’re seeking a fragrance centered on this combination, this one is definitely worth noting.
