Luxury fragrance house Jo Malone has launched three limited-edition colognes uniquely inspired by vegetables, with the Velvety Butternut variant earning particular acclaim as a transitional scent into autumn. Priced at £59 for 30ml, the woody-gourmand fragrance features notes of smooth butternut, warm tonka bean, and patchouli, opening with a fresh hit of ginger.
Customer Reactions and Ratings
The cologne has garnered a near-perfect 4.9/5 star rating on the Jo Malone London website. One shopper described it as 'stunning,' adding: 'Tried this product today, was blown away by this charming scent! It smooth and sweet, very moreish and such an unique range. Would recommend giving it a try for sure!' A second fan called it 'warm and light,' noting it works well as both an autumn and spring scent. A third praised its versatility: 'Perfect soft sweet scent for the summer, has the warmth and comfort of a winter smell but lightness making it perfect for summer.'
However, not all feedback was glowing. One reviewer wrote: 'This is like a wintery warm vanilla candle, didn't seem to change or deepen on my skin.. would be my third choice of the veggies range with carrot being first and beetroot second. I prefer my perfume a bit stronger.'
The Collection and Packaging
The Velvety Butternut Cologne is part of a trio that also includes Carrot Blossom and Scarlet Beetroot. Encased in a butter-yellow bottle, the monochromatic design makes it a trendy addition to a dressing table or bathroom cabinet. The 30ml size is ideal for travel.
