Jo Malone London Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne 30ml is the brand's signature scent — and one of the most iconic citrus-aromatic fragrances of modern perfumery. Composed by Jo Malone in 1999 and unisex from launch, it pairs vibrant lime and mandarin with the peppery green twist of basil, settling on a quietly sophisticated patchouli-and-vetiver base.
About Jo Malone London

Who it's for
Anyone drawn to clean, modern citrus-aromatic compositions and the Jo Malone London aesthetic. Genuinely unisex, equally suited to spring and summer wear, daytime use and warm-weather travel. The 30ml size suits a smaller perfume wardrobe or makes a thoughtful gift.
How to use
- Spray two to three times onto pulse points: throat, behind the ears and on the wrists.
- Allow the lime-basil opening to settle without rubbing the wrists together.
- Layer with another Jo Malone London cologne — try Wood Sage & Sea Salt or Wild Bluebell — for a personal scent combination.
- Refresh through the day if needed; cologne concentrations invite reapplication.
