Details & care

What it is: Flirt with oh-so floral neroli and a delicious wink of basil with this quintessentially British and always playful scent.

Fragrance story: It opens with basil grand vert, with its herbaceous warmth of basil and peppery edge, which brings an unexpected twist to the citrus notes of this scent. Neroli, the hand-picked blossoms of the bitter orange tree, follows. This green floral note, wonderfully clean and fresh, infuses the fragrance with the elegant scent of orange flower. White musk, powdery and clean, enhances the trail of the scent, adding a softness that endures.

Notes:
- Top: basil grand vert
- Middle: neroli
- Base: white musk

Mood: Fresh, fun, full of adventure.

How to use: Like perfumes or eau de toilettes, colognes are fragrances designed to be worn on the skin. Spritz generously onto your wrists, neck and pulse points—your body heat will help to diffuse the fragrance as the day goes on. Wear alone or layer with another cologne or your favorite bath and body products.

  • Jo Malone London scents can be worn solo or layered for truly individual effects. Create a scent that fits your mood or occasion with Fragrance Combining™.
  • In celebration of Jo Malone's passion for the elegant art of gift giving, the cologne comes presented in a signature box tied with a ribbon.

Basil and Neroli Cologne

At first I thought it was rather redundant for a new Jo Malone scent to have basil in the name. Lime, Mandarin and Basil is the signature scent in this line, so what is different about this new mix? Basically, the original is great, but it could be said that it veers to unisex, even masculine and can seem like a nice scent for the kitchen. Basil and Neroli is basically like the feminine counterpart of Lime, Mandarin and Basil. If you find Orange Blossom too fruity or sweet, this greener version might be preferable. I would think either of these classics would blend beautifully with Basil and Neroli. This new classic lives up to the hype.

Delivered without Original packaging

I ordered this along with a smaller other Jo Malone from Nordstrom. Both were delivered tossed together in one plastic bag with a ziplock type closure in a brown box with some brown packing paper. Normally when you buy any perfume they come at least in a container box and Jo Malone is no different. It was appalling and so disrespectful frankly to be sent products clearly spent money on in such a wanton manner. In addition to this - both bottles caps smelled like they had been sprayed. I have returned both items this morning to the store and re-ordered from another retailer. This is the second time this has happened- first being around Christmas when I received a gift set of Alien which I had planned to gift with no sealed box. As a customer of nearly 15 years, I see Nordstrom’s quality and customer care is steadily going down hill.

What are you waiting for???

This is my very first jo malone fragrance to date because for the longest time, i cannot justify paying $130 for a cologne! I just never bothered. But when i got a sample of this particular scent in the mail, it changed my fragrance persperctive. The first couple of spritz i thought this is a scent that i never would bother to buy. But i was wrong! I caught myself sniffing my shirt or scarf throughout the day and by the 4th day, i ran to Nordstrom to purchase the whole bottle. I know that cologne preference is very personal, but this cologne matures well with me and it has a decent lasting power. It even lingers on my jackets and scarves in a very pleasant way. I will definitely be looking in to this brand more. It's worth the money if you ask me. It's very unique and personal. Every other perfume in the market is like a copycat of another. But this one is sooo unique with my body chemistry. Also the Nordstrom in Short hills mall has the friendliest SA eveerrr (forgot the name though, but you know who you are!) !

Best long-lasting, universal light scent ever

I cried (ok not really, more liked gasped) when I dropped my half full bottle onto my bathroom floor shattering the bottle and its glorious contents. Within seconds, I ordered a new bottle. And my bathroom smelled lovely for a week. This is the only perfume I truly believe is universal for all body chemistry. So light and unexpected. The best is when I'm working out at 5pm and catch a whiff of it reappearing inside my sweat after hours of wear. It's the best!

You had me at HELLO!!!

I am a longtime Jo Malone fan (I regularly wear Mimosa and Cardemom and Nectarine Blossom and Honey). I was shopping in Nordstrom one day and noticed a new Jo Malone fragrance. THE MOMENT I smelled Basil & Neroli I knew I was smitten. The fragrance is sooooo different from the others, and its clean, fresh scent is breathtaking. I went home that day smelling my arm all night...that's when I knew I had to have this. If you layer with the body crème you should enjoy a full day's worth fragrance. If you are curious, please go try out the scent...it really is intoxicating. Enjoy!!!
