I tried Jo Malone's £125 Orange Marmalade perfume and it wasn't what I expected
The citrus scent blends bitter orange and patchouli and has become one of Jo Malone London’s bestselling colognes, with the larger bottle out of stock at Harrods.
Malone London Orange Marmalade Cologne, inspired by the British breakfast favorite, offers a sophisticated, spicy scent rather than the expected juicy citrus. The £125 fragrance, launched Two years ago with Paddington, challenges initial perceptions.
Natural Bitter Orange and Orange Peel Accord provide a bitter-fresh start, while Natural Patchouli adds a woody base. This blend creates a balance of citrus, spice, and warmth, evolving on the skin After the initial spray.
Priced at £58 for 30ml or £125 for 100ml, the cologne justifies the cost through its staying power. Anyone expecting a super-sweet fragrance might be surprised by its woody depth, which lingers for hours.

With soft warmth, the cologne suits festive periods and darker nights better than summer days. As With all Malone London purchases, the packaging makes it a fabulous gift, perfect For placing under a tree.
