Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense
The aromatic notes of cypress trees unite with the warmth of grapevine and the sensuality of amber.
Part of the Lost In Wonder Collection, new for autumn 2020.
Why We Love It:
I absolutely love this new Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense launch (September 2020) from Jo Malone.
Cypress & Grapevine is rich, vibrant and elegant. It’s a fragrance with gravitas and a warming sensuality. I absolutely love it on my skin.
That said, the performance is not as good as you’d expect. Sillage is there, but it’s more of a nuzzler, rather than a shouty ‘look at me’ fragrance. Longevity is middle-of-the-road and definitely needs a top-up spritz throughout the day.
It’s a good launch and a fragrance I’m excited to wear more of.
Launched with Jo Malone Fig & Lotus Flower Cologne.
Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense
Cypress & Grapevine, an aromatic and evergreen Cologne Intense. Foliage and revelry enliven the gardenโs expansive terraces and noble arches. The fresh scent of statuesque cypress trees is powered with woody notes of trailing grapevines, grounded with depths of amber for a bold and compelling effect.
The Jo Malone Cypress & Grapevine Exfoliating Shower Gel is available here.
Top Note: Cypress
This resinous woody note gives the fragrance an aromatic freshness.
Heart Note: Grapevine
A sensual woody accord. An unexpected blend of natural cedarwood and vetiver, complimented with warm amber and juicy grape notes.
Base Note: Moss
The verdancy of moss cushions the base of the fragrance in earthy, woody warmth. Evocative of undergrowth damp with fresh rain.
Jo Malone: Lost In Wonder Collection

A lost moment in time, imagined in the present. Enter a place of fabled beauty lovingly created by a gallant king for his wistful queen under the blazing sun. Faithfully tended, flush with water-splashed flowers and ripe fruits, trailing vines and statuesque trees. A wonder to behold.
These two new fragrances can be paired with each other or another from Jo Malone Londonโs collection to create a personalised scent.

I love this fragrance. Wore it on my wedding day! Robin hits it on the head, this one gets better the more you wear it. It also plays nice with other fragrances, I often wear it with my other favorite from Jo Malone: Wood Sage and Sea Salt. Could not recommend more highly.
I agree with Robinโs review here. The scent is fantastic – rich, warm and nuanced. You do have to come in close to really appreciate the scent. Which isnโt always a bad thing.
It’s a nuzzler! Got to get in close to truly enjoy it.
