Best Jo Malone Perfumes For Summer
I have selected 6 of the best Jo Malone perfumes for summer to keep you feeling fresh, feminine and ultra-confident.
1. Jo Malone Frangipani Flower Cologne
Review
Jo Malone Frangipani Flower Cologne uses the exotic frangipani flower to a stunning effect. Released in 2021, you will want to bask in this lemony/floral delight all spring and summer long as it’s easy to wear and not overpowering.
An opening of creamy lemon is joined by the exotic floral sweetness of the frangipani flower. I love the ylang-ylang in the heart as it just adds glamour. Still, I did not notice any jasmine personally, although it’s listed. A light woody base adds smoothness.

3. Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne
Review
As the name suggests, Jo Malone Red Roses Cologne is a rose focused floral fragrance that will bathe you in the dazzling majesty of this magnificent flower. Released in 2001, this is a classic spring/summer scent from the band.
This intoxicating fragrance opens with refreshing minty lemon but soon unleashes a bouquet of stunningly fragrant rose. Hints of powdery/green violet leaf and subtle sweet beeswax make an appearance, but this is undoubtedly a rose fragrance to fall in love with.

4. Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne
Review
With its aromatic woody/salty freshness, Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne is the ideal summer fragrance to wear for a chilled day lazing on the beach.
An opening of light grapefruit leads to a fragrant heart of sage and sea salt. Musky ambrette seeds introduce a little complexity to this chilled summer daytime scent. Not super long-lasting but lovely while it lasts.

5. Jo Malone Basil & Neroli Cologne
Review
Jo Malone Basil & Neroli Cologne is quite simply summertime in a bottle. This cheerful fragrance is fresh, floral and spicy all rolled into one and will whisk you off to a whimsical happy place. Released in 2013, this is similar (but lighter) to Tom Ford Neroli Portifino Eau de Parfum.
Fresh and fragrant basil is first to delight, swiftly accompanied by the comforting sweet, zesty floral scent of neroli. As this fragrance settles, you are greeted by a soft undercurrent of musk and woody/grassy vetiver.

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne is a well balanced fruity/floral warm weather fragrance. Released in 2010, this sophisticated and feminine fragrance is a pure delight to wear.
This fragrance opens with the sweetness of lush pear and the fruity floral scent of freesia. Some rose seems to make an appearance, although it’s not listed in the notes. Upon dry-down, earthy patchouli lingers nicely, supported by amber and woody notes.
