Sea Daffodil

Sea Daffodil by Jo Malone London presents a creamy, tropical floral scent dominated by ylang-ylang, vanilla, and sea air. It evokes a soft, sun-drenched beach atmosphere with a smooth, almost dessert-like texture—less bright than citrus-focused perfumes but more tactile than typical fresh scents. The opening features mandarin orange and pink pepper, creating a lively and slightly salty marine impression, which can feel reminiscent of sunscreen or old coastal linen. Over time, the scent fades quickly, with most users noting it lasts around six to eight hours, though sillage remains moderate to intimate and is well-suited for daytime wear, particularly in spring and summer. A few report a plasticy or overly sweet vanilla note that clashes for some, while others find it luxurious, smooth, and ideal for warm weather, beachside settings, or casual elegance.
