by Jo Malone London
Wild Strawberry & Parsley by Jo Malone London is a delicate, photorealistic green fragrance that evokes the freshness of a garden at dawn. It opens with sharp, tangy notes of tomato leaf and parsley, layered with a subtle, juicy wild strawberry and violet. The aroma is soft and herbal—almost soapy and clean—with a persistent green, slightly bitter vegetal character that lingers without overt sweetness. Most wearers experience it as a light, translucent scent that feels more intimate than noticeable, with no strong sillage. The top notes of black currant and green herbs are prominent initially, but fade quickly into a background of oakmoss and white musk, creating a dry, airy finish. Some find the strawberry note barely perceptible, while others perceive it as a soft, sweet counterpoint balancing the green intensity. Notably, longevity is thin, with most reporting it lasts only a few hours, though a few describe exceptional staying power. It’s best worn in spring or summer, particularly during the day, and appeals most to those seeking a natural, minimalist scent that feels poetic and grounded in nature rather than bold or long-wearing.
