154 Cologne
by Jo Malone London
Jo Malone London 154 Cologne is a complex, masculine-leaning fragrance with a distinctive green and earthy character. It opens with a bright burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin orange, leading into a spicy, woody base marked by nutmeg, lavender, and vetiver. The dry down brings warmth from patchouli, vanilla, and musk, creating a layered, almost medicinal green scent with subtle sweetness. While some users describe it as watery or fleeting, others note its strong sillage and long-lasting projection, particularly in colder weather. The scent evolves noticeably on the skin, with a close, intimate dry-down that can project faintly, making it ideal for daytime wear during autumn and winter. It has an androgynous quality that suits those who enjoy a sophisticated, clean yet resinous fragrance with a hint of vintage sophistication.
