Jo's Rhubarb is a bright, vegetal fragrance centered on tart rhubarb and citrus grapefruit, with a dry, earthy vetiver base. The initial burst is crisp and fresh, like freshly chopped rhubarb on a warm day, paired with a clear citrus lift from grapefruit. Over time, it morphs into a smooth, green-woody scent with minimal sweetness. Though some find it intensely linear and disappearing quickly, many describe it as photorealistic in its rhubarb character—sharp, clean, organic, and entirely unisex. The scent is not floral or sweet, avoiding dessert-style associations, and some interpret it as evoking raw plant notes, moisture, and even a faint smoky/earthy undertone reminiscent of soil or vetiver roots. It performs well on fabric but projects weakly on skin, fading after an hour. Despite low sillage and longevity, it’s seen as unexpectedly authentic and refined for its price point, especially for fans of green, herbal, or earthy scents.
