By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unexpectedly spiced — cumin and chili pepper create a dry, almost savory warmth before the fragrance pivots to juniper's sharp, resinous greenness in the heart. Black cedarwood anchors the base with a dark, slightly charred quality that gives the composition its depth.
The overall impression is of something leathery and weathered, suited to cold air and grey skies. This is Jo Malone at its most angular — a London Rain collection piece that earns its name through austerity rather than literalism.
