Jasmine Sambac & Marigold
Heady jasmine sambac from Tamil Nadu set against fruity-green marigold and wrapped in warm benzoin resin.
At first light in Tamil Nadu, jasmine sambac buds are gathered from quiet fields and carried into a crowded flower market. The fragrance is built around that shift from calm to commotion.
Jasmine sambac, prized in India, sits at the heart as a heady white floral that brightens the whole composition. Marigold leads at the top with a fruity, green edge, a vivid flower set against the creamier jasmine. Benzoin resin anchors the base, its warm, vanilla-like sweetness wound through the jasmine for a richer finish.
Jo Malone London says every Cologne Intense shares a warm, sensual dimension that draws people in; here that comes from pairing petals with balsamic resin.
