Jo Malone Blackberry & Bay Cologne
Description
Blackberry & Bay is tart, just-picked blackberries with crushed bay leaves: fruity, but greener than it is sweet. Jo Malone London released it in 2012, composed by Fabrice Pellegrin, and the house ties it to childhood memories of blackberry picking. Grapefruit and a juicy blackberry accord open it, bay leaf gives a fresh, slightly herbal heart, and cedar and vetiver keep the base dry and woody. It is an easy cologne to wear, and it layers well with the house's other scents.
