Vetiver & Golden Vanilla
Vetiver & Golden Vanilla by Jo Malone is an unisex eau de parfum from 2018 in the premium price tier. It opens with cardamom and grapefruit, moves into vetiver, lavender and clary sage and dries down to bourbon vanilla and labdanum. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Clary Sage Softer, sweeter sage with an ambery undertone. Warm and herbal.
Dry-down
- Bourbon Vanilla Richer, boozier vanilla. Darker than the standard version.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
