Sunlit citrus meets aromatic greenery in a scent that feels like a clean ocean breeze drifting through a herb garden. Zesty lime and tart mandarin sparkle at the opening, then a peppery ribbon of basil lifts the freshness and adds sophistication, while soft florals and gentle woods create an elegant, airy trail. It is crisp yet comforting, effortlessly chic for everyday wear, and perfect for layering in the Jo Malone London style.

Story and Positioning
The house presents Lime Basil and Mandarin as its signature modern classic, described as a Caribbean breeze of limes brightened by peppery basil and aromatic white thyme. It is designed for fragrance combining, with the brand recommending pairings that add juicy depth or extra freshness, such as layering with Blackberry and Bay. A pillar of the Citrus family, it spans cologne, home fragrance, and bath and body formats, making it a versatile wardrobe anchor.
Bottle and Design
The cologne comes in Jo Malone London’s clear rectangular flacon that lets the pale juice glow. A cream label with fine black framing and crisp serif type gives a tailored look. The rounded silver cap adds a jewelry like glint, and the proportions feel balanced in the hand, with a flat base that sits securely on the vanity.
