Wood Sage & Sea Salt

A windswept English shoreline gets rendered with almost no materials at all in Jo Malone London's Wood Sage & Sea Salt, sea salt, sage and grapefruit offering the top a mineral, bracing freshness, the salt accord doing something oddly evocative rather than merely clean. Ambrette holds the core alone, musky and soft, adding a warm skin quality beneath the coastal air. Seaweed finishes it green, damp and faintly briny, closer to rockpool than to open ocean. Three stages built from four notes is remarkably spare, and the composition succeeds precisely because nothing crowds the salt. The sage keeps it from smelling like nothing more than salt water and stone. Wood Sage & Sea Salt Unisex Fragrance belongs to everyday wear across the seasons, a fresh aquatic Cologne through and through. Comfortable, dependable and unmistakably Jo Malone, Wood Sage & Sea Salt is everything the name says it is.
