(AD/Gifted)

Jo Malone’s latest offering to their ‘Cologne Intense’ range comes in the form of Vetiver & Golden Vanilla! A creamy, sensual fragrance that makes for the perfect transitional fragrance as we move from Winter into the upcoming Spring months.

Top Note: Cardamom
Middle Notes: Vetiver Bourbon
Base Notes: Vanilla Bourbon

Vetiver & Golden Vanilla opens up with a blast of the Cardamom note that feels both spicy and rich and soon afterwards, the creaminess of the Vanilla Bourbon note makes the fragrance feel well rounded and strong. The Vetiver Bourbon note gives this an underlying earthy tone that isn’t too overpowering nor is it too subtle, and when blended with the Vanilla Bourbon note, this makes it feel a little sweet.

For me personally, I found Vetiver & Golden Vanilla’s longevity a little disappointing as the scent lasted on my skin for up to 3 hours which when compared to my other favourites from the ‘Cologne Intense’ range, they tend to last on my skin in the region of 6-8 hours, so much longer in comparison. That being said, Vetiver & Golden Vanilla gained me compliments and I found its silage to be medium-light.

Vetiver & Golden Vanilla is available in both 50ml (£78) and 100ml (£122) and more details on the fragrance can be found here.
