A scent that is gender-neutral but not too heavy 2. A refreshing citrus-based fragrance 3. A natural aroma like the smell of freshly mowed grass I bought this perfume while traveling in the UK at my mom's request. She doesn't really like overly feminine and sweet scents, and prefers more gender-neutral fragrances. In that sense, this perfume seems to be quite neutral, which is why she was interested in it. From the perspective of a fragrance novice, this is a scent that would suit men's fashion in the winter, like wearing a sweater, coat, and scarf. This would likely suit 20-30 year old men who like musky scents and generally dress in a sophisticated, darker color palette.
ConsAs a woman, my mom and I found this scent to be a bit too heavy. So even though I bought this perfume over 5 years ago, I've barely used it at all.. I try to wear it when I'm going for a casual, street style look to avoid feeling too underdressed, but in enclosed spaces like a car, the underlying heavy notes are just too overpowering and make me feel dizzy. (This may be because I'm sensitive to fragrances and get carsick.)

Although I used to dislike Jo Malone due to the short lasting time, this scent is not artificial and has a subtle, high-end 'my skin' type of fragrance that I really enjoy! As it is Jo Malone, the scent doesn't last very long, so I tend to use it generously, but even with that downside, it's a satisfactory scent with no strong likes or dislikes.
ConsThe scent doesn't last very long, but it's still satisfactory considering the price.

Since it's a cologne, the fragrance wasn't too strong and lingered subtly for a long time.
ConsThe scent was too greasy and cloying. It had that same oily smell you get when you open a Zico coconut drink. Personally, I really disliked it.

It's also convenient and portable, making it a great 30ml Jo Malone option. I usually prefer fruity or woody fragrances, as I don't like floral or rose scents. But I discovered Jo Malone's Wood Sage & Sea Salt, and it's not overly feminine - it has a more neutral aroma. So it's suitable for all ages and genders! The spray nozzle is small but disperses the fragrance well, without leaving any marks on clothes. And the scent lasts for around 6 hours, which is great. Top Note: Ambrette Seed The refined feel of the ambrette seed envelops the entire fragrance. Heart Note: Sea Salt The crunchy, oceanic salt note conveys a refreshing and fresh sensation. Base Note: Sage The earthy and aromatic sage adds a natural depth to the base.
ConsNone.

ConsIt's a bit disappointing that the fragrance doesn't last very long. If it came in a smaller bottle instead of a 100ml one, I could carry it around and spray it more often...I feel like I bought something unnecessarily large. (Attached is a photo comparing the size to an adult male's hand.)
TipWhen buying, getting a smaller bottle to carry around and spray frequently would be a good idea.

I often describe the scents I dislike, like fishy smells, sweat, cigarette smoke, and my dad's skin scent, with laughter. But this one has such a lovely lingering fragrance, and it doesn't have the skin scent that I particularly dislike. It's a scent that would come across as sexy on a man, and it has an intellectual quality to it.
ConsThe longevity and price could be a bit better, though.

But this one has a subtle yet pleasant fragrance, and it's not overpowering, so I think people of all ages can use it comfortably.
ConsThe fragrance is nicely subtle right after application, but it tends to fade quickly when you're out for a long time.

ConsThe longevity is a bit disappointing, so you'll need to carry the 30ml bottle with you
Tip- The longevity was a bit lacking, but it pairs well with mixing two fragrances - Applying a long-lasting dirty body spray first, and then layering the woody sage scent on top once the initial fragrance has settled, creates a lovely, subtly blended aroma (this is just my personal preference)

I thought the fragrance would be strong with the inclusion of woody notes, but it's not as sharp or overpowering as I expected. The deep, dark notes are not present. Instead, the fragrance feels fresh and vibrant!! Whenever I spray perfume, I think about the image I want to convey and choose a fragrance that matches that mood for the day. If I want to project an image of trustworthiness but without being too heavy, and instead want to exude a free and bright energy, I often reach for this perfume to give a cool, refreshing impression. I'm using the 100ml product, and even after using it for 2 years, I still have about 20ml left. Usage can vary from person to person, but I feel I've gotten good mileage out of this and have a decent amount remaining. Before trying Jomalone perfumes, I used to buy more affordable fragrances, and there is a noticeable difference in the alcohol note. Regular fragrances can have an overpowering, cloying sweetness or a strong alcohol scent at the start that fades quickly. This Jomalone perfume doesn't have that - the fragrance is present from the beginning, gradually softening and lingering. Even though it does eventually fade, if I spray it on the inside of my elbow, I can still catch the subtle scent when I'm sleeping. Personally, I'm very satisfied with this perfume and will likely repurchase it.
ConsThe fact that, as a Cologne, it dissipates faster than a Parfum?!
TipThere are various ways to apply perfume, but for Jomalone products, I like to spray it on the inside of my elbow (the crease), as well as my shoulders, chest, and neck. I tend to apply a bit more than I would with a Parfum. Spraying it on the inside of my elbow works well for catching the subtle scent as I'm walking around.
