Midnight Musk & Amber
by Jo Malone London
Midnight Musk & Amber by Jo Malone London is a deeply atmospheric, unisex scent that unfolds like a quiet spell of warmth and elegance. It opens with a delicate, slightly sour-tart juniper note that fades quickly, giving way to a soft, powdery embrace of amber and black musk. The scent is remarkably well-balanced, with an aromatic sophistication that feels both classic and modern—evoking memories of old Guerlain or Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle, especially in its subtle, fizzy-powdery character. As it develops, it grows resinous and warm, deeply rooted in musk and amber, with a quiet sensuality that lingers through the evening and into the night.
Pros
- +Lasts for hours with moderate sillage, surpassing most Jo Malone scents in longevity
- +Offers a rich, clean, and sensual amber-musk experience that feels rare and refined
- +Truly unisex and suitable across seasons, especially cool autumn and winter days and nights
Cons
- −The name is misleading—amber is prominent but not dominant, and the scent leans more aromatic than amber-forward
- −Some users perceive it as more masculine or neutral, making it less feminine than expected
- −Can be overwhelming in close proximity or with multiple sprays, with a fizz that some find sharp
