BlackBerry & Bay Cologne

$140.00

Blackberry & Bay opens with the specific tartness of blackcurrant and blackberry before the bay leaf arrives to complicate things. Bay is an unusual choice in feminine perfumery, its slightly medicinal, spice-adjacent quality more often found in masculine compositions, and it is precisely this misalignment that makes the fragrance interesting. White cedar and vetiver in the base give the fruit-herb combination a clean, woody foundation without asserting any particular gender convention. The simplicity is calculated. Jo Malone at its most compositionally surprising.

Why We Carry This

The bay leaf note in Blackberry & Bay is the detail that justifies carrying it: it prevents the blackcurrant from becoming a standard fruit-fresh composition and gives the fragrance a herbal character that reads as genuinely sophisticated. The cedar-vetiver base is clean and well-proportioned.
