Jo Malone Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Cologne Intense Spray 100ml/3.4oz

Perfumer and brand founder jo malone lent her own hand into the creation of dark amber & ginger lily, an oriental woody fragrance that derives its complexity from its blend of spicy, woody, amber, smoky and balsamic accords. It opens with its top piquant notes of black cardamom, ginger and pink pepper. After this perky yet nuanced introduction, the heady floral middle notes of jasmine, orchid, water lily and rose come into bloom. Finally, its effects are brought to completion by the inclusion of leather, sandalwood, patchouli and black amber along with agarwood, which gives this cologne a rich, nutty component. Similar to other jo malone fragrances, dark amber & ginger can be paired with other products to create an even more intricately nuanced effect as well as weave together your own signature scent. When launched in 2008, it was introduced with lotus blossom and water lily in honor of kodo, a practice that requires much skill and was traditionally taught as one of the three classical refinements in japanese culture. Although the british perfume crafter sold her label to estée lauder in 1999, it continues with her unique approach to aesthetics when crafting its line of luxury scents today.
