A few of Jo Malone’s ‘cologne intense’ creations have had a packaging shake-up, and one of them, Tuberose Angelica (Marie Salamagne) was under the spotlight in a recent episode of Love At First Scent. Here’s a link: Jo Malone Tuberose Angelica review.

Regular readers will be aware that I don’t exactly fall into the ‘Jo Malone fanboy’ camp, but don’t ever say that I don’t give credit where it’s due.  Tuberose Angelica is without question one of the more commendable pieces of work I’ve tried from the brand. To be clear: it is not innovative, original or especially memorable. Its angelica note is, to put it politely, subtle. And, contrary to what some might hope for, its tuberose isn’t overly indolic, coconutty or spicy, which is to say it isn’t vampish or dramatic. But then neither is it thin, screechy or unconvincing.

What does that leave us with? A pleasant, mildly assertive floral – heavy on tuberose’s crunchy, creamy facets – that lasts far longer than most JM scents do. In fact, it’s not unlike Salamagne’s other Malone hit, Mimosa Cardamom, which also managed to combine translucent naturalness with the brand’s inexplicably successful I-don’t-like-perfume-but-I-feel-I-should-wear-some aesthetic. In short, it’s well put together and totally innocuous.
