About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Launched in 1990, Nutmeg & Ginger is a unisex woody spicy fragrance from Jo Malone. Its note pyramid is unusually top-heavy: ginger, nutmeg, sandalwood, and cedar all appear in the top, with no heart or base notes listed. This means the scent opens with a bright, fresh-spicy burst—ginger's citrus-tinged zing and nutmeg's warm powder—before settling into a dry, woody sandalwood-cedar foundation. The main accords (fresh spicy 100%, woody 58%, fresh 50%, powdery 44%, citrus 38%) confirm a crisp, aromatic character with a soft powdery trail.
Collectors of vintage Jo Malone will appreciate its straightforward, ingredient-focused style, typical of early releases. It suits those who prefer uncomplicated, spicy-woody compositions without heavy sweetness or resin. Ideal for daytime wear in cooler months, or as a layering base for citrus or floral scents. Given its discontinued status, it's a find for fans of ginger-forward fragrances and archival Jo Malone completists.
中文簡介
1990年推出嘅Nutmeg & Ginger係Jo Malone嘅中性木質辛辣香水。香調金字塔集中喺前調:生薑、肉豆蔻、檀香同雪松,冇中調同基調。所以一噴係清新辛辣嘅生薑同暖粉感肉豆蔻,之後慢慢變成乾燥嘅木質檀香雪松底。主調(新鮮辛辣100%、木質58%、清新50%、粉感44%、柑橘38%)顯示佢係爽脆芳香帶柔和粉感。適合鍾意簡單直接、唔甜唔重樹脂嘅辛辣木質香嘅人。日間用、秋冬用,或者做柑橘/花香嘅疊香底都唔錯。絕版關係,生薑控同Jo Malone收藏家值得留意。
