Rose & Magnolia

Rose & Magnolia by Jo Malone London is a distinctive, spicy-woody rose fragrance that deviates from the brand's typically light and fresh floral profiles. The opening features a bold, peppery note paired with magnolia, creating a slightly edgy, modern floral that feels both sophisticated and unapologetically rich. The heart showcases a deep, creamy rose combined with geranium and may rose, offering a velvety floral core that balances the spicy elements. The dry-down reveals a gauzy, musky patchouli and amberwood base that lingers with a hint of earthy warmth, giving it a mature, slightly bohemian character. While some users describe it as refreshingly floral and perfect for spring transition, others note its heavy patchouli and black pepper presence, which can feel medicinal or more winter-oriented. The scent is well-crafted and long-lasting for Jo Malone’s standard, though some report fleeting longevity. It suits those who enjoy layered, complex florals with spice and depth and are open to a more serious, contemporary rose than the brand typically offers.
