White Moss & Snowdrop
by Jo Malone London
White Moss & Snowdrop by Jo Malone London delivers a light, fresh, and subtly earthy scent that unfolds with a green, mossy opening tinged with citrus and petitgrain. The fragrance evolves into a warm, powdery heart with cardamom, amber, and tonka bean, creating a delicate balance between cool and cozy. It feels delicate and refined, with a soft, feminine aura that leans toward unisex wearability, especially in spring or winter. Many note the scent resembles a softer, cooler version of Hermes Eau de Merveilles or Tom Ford Soleil Neige—airy, powdery, and softly spicy with a hint of warm amber and nutty tonka, without ever becoming heavy or overwhelming. Longevity is moderate, lasting around 5 hours on most skin types, and sillage remains moderate to intimate, making it ideal for daywear. It's appreciated for its subtle elegance and versatility, though some find it underwhelming, less festive than expected, or too linear and faint. Not a scent designed to leave a strong impression, but one that offers quiet comfort and quiet refinement.
