‘Marmalade is quintessentially British. After all, what is a traditional breakfast without a good marmalade? What a great inspiration for a scent, to have the bitterness of the orange rind blended with the sweetness of the marmalade.’ – Céline Roux, Global Head Of Fragrance at Jo Malone London.

Orange Marmalade opens with a zingy top note of orange peel. The opening is instantly bright and joyful, and you can tell this is very much an orange based citrus scent, however it’s not as ‘marmalade-y’ as I would have expected –  it’s not really sugary-sweet like real life marmalade. This is more of a fresh and invigorating take on orange, mildly sweet, very unisex, and lightly woody in the base. Though not quite what I anticipated, I do really like this scent, it’s easy to wear, light and refreshing, and perfect for enjoying in warmer weather.
