Jo Malone London Unveils “Amber Labdanum” Cologne Intense: A Sun-Drenched Journey to Southern Spain, Exclusively at Harrods

Prepare to be transported to the sun-drenched groves of Andalusia, because Jo Malone London is set to launch its captivating new fragrance, Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense, exclusively at Harrods on July 1, 2025. This highly anticipated addition to the brand’s prestigious Cologne Intense line promises a rich, radiant, and deeply evocative scent inspired by the vibrant landscapes and golden hours of Southern Spain.
Known for their exquisite and often unexpected fragrance pairings, Jo Malone London dives deep into the heart of the Mediterranean with this new creation. Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense aims to capture the essence of wild citrus groves bathed in warmth, transitioning from bright mornings to balmy evenings.
A Sensory Escape: Notes of Andalusia
Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense opens with a bright and invigorating burst of Bitter Orange, immediately evoking the freshness of Spanish orchards. This bittersweet top note lays the foundation for the fragrance’s sophisticated journey. The heart of the scent reveals the star ingredient: Amber Labdanum. Labdanum, a precious resin, is renowned in perfumery for its warm, balsamic, and subtly leathery facets, often forming the core of a rich amber accord. It brings a profound depth and sensual warmth, hinting at ancient traditions and sun-baked landscapes.
As the fragrance settles, it transitions to a comforting and alluring base of creamy Vanilla and robust Roasted Oak. These notes lend a smooth, woody, and subtly sweet finish, designed to linger on the skin like the memory of a perfect sunset. The overall composition is described as a Citrus Aromatic Woody scent, perfectly balanced for a unisex appeal, making it a versatile choice for anyone seeking a sensual and radiant signature.
The Cologne Intense Collection: A Richer Experience
As part of the Cologne Intense collection, Amber Labdanum is formulated to offer a deeper, more luxurious, and longer-lasting experience than Jo Malone London’s standard colognes. These fragrances are typically crafted with rarer and richer ingredients, providing a more opulent olfactive journey. The decision to launch this particular scent with an exclusive at Harrods underscores its premium positioning and the brand’s confidence in its allure.
Whether you’re a long-time Jo Malone aficionado or looking for a new signature scent that captures the essence of a dream vacation, Amber Labdanum Cologne Intense promises an olfactory escape. Mark your calendars for July 1st, because this limited-time exclusive at Harrods is set to bring the warmth and passion of Southern Spain right to your vanity.
