With a new, limited-edition Marmalade Dreams collection inspired by delectable homemade preserves, seasonal fruit and the splendour of summer, Jo Malone London is transporting you to grassy knolls on sunny days with just one spritz – or two!
Exclusively pre-launched in Asia at Lane Crawford, five classic flavours are available as part of the lineup. Drawing on ingredients from local British growers, each scent in the collection celebrates the single ingredient jam, and has been created to be used in combination with another. To savour this afternoon delight, we sample each scent below.
Orange Peel Cologne
A culinary companion to scones and English breakfast tea, orange marmalade is a comfort to many. This translation of the classic confiture has top notes of orange peel, pink pepper and rhubarb; heart notes of orange bigarade and lavender; and base notes of cashmere wood, sage and patchouli. The result is a warm, glowing summer’s day.
Layered best with: Tangy Rhubarb
Tangy Rhubarb Cologne
Vibrant and just the right amount of wild, this scent smacks of tangy rhubarb and citrus-fresh lemon, with heart notes of orange and jasmine petals, and grounded by a base of cedarwood and white musk. A little eccentric, a little playful, and very Jo Malone.

Rose Blush Cologne
Is there anything more sophisticated than a good rose petal jam? Equal parts sweet and floral, this scent starts with notes of basil Grand Vert and lychee, moves through middle notes of rose and geranium, and lingers with white musk and amberwood. A modern twist on a traditional rose fragrance.
Layered best with: Elderflower Cordial
Elderflower Cordial Cologne
Delicate and nuanced like its namesake beverage, this cologne commands a second sniff. It’s a sensory journey from an unusual combination of gooseberry, bergamot and lychee; to elderflower, hawthorn and May rose; and spicy notes of patchouli, dried fruit and amberwood. Sweet, spice and everything nice.
Layered best with: Rose Blush or Blackberry & Bay
Blackberry & Bay Cologne
This take on a Jo Malone classic recalls the acidity of farm-fresh fruit. Besides blackberries, the top notes also include grapefruit and grapefruit blossom, with a heart of bay leaves, lily of the valley and jasmine petals. The final act is a heavenly showcase of cedarwood, white musk and vetiver to add vivacity and joy.
