Jo Malone Cologne Intense Orris & Sandalwood

by: Sandra Raicevic Petrovic

In January 2016, Jo Malone London launches their new fragrance which joins the Cologne Intense collection. The fragrance will thrill all fans of powdery-milky compositions which have expressive aromas of orris root and sandalwood.

The composition of Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood provides a balance of floral and woody notes combined harmoniously with powdery-woody orris. Top notes bloom with violet, leading to orris in the heart. Creamy sandalwood is very intense in the base of the fragrance. Unlike the fragrance Iris & White Musk which highlights floral shades of iris, lily and gentle white musk, Orris & Sandalwood provides a stronger composition with a powdery veil.

"It was our wish to create a fragrance with orris, because that is one of the most desirable raw materials in the world of perfumes. It was cultivated by monks for centuries, and even today each orris is dried during a period of 3 years, so that its scent can radiate with two unique nuances: woody-floral and intense-powdery." – according to perfumer of the new Jo Malone edition, Pierre Negrin.
