Ad Affiliate Throughout: One thing I adore about fragrance I love is that it transports me somewhere happy the moment I spray it. My mum's wedding scent was Jo Malone's Orange Blossom and it will forever remind me of that beautiful weekend. This summer, I’ve been lucky enough to try something truly special: Jo Malone London’s new limited-edition Raspberry Ripple cologne, and let me tell you, it’s quite possibly their most deliciously nostalgic scent I've ever smelt to date.
From the moment the beautiful bottle arrived (yes, it came just in time for the sunshine!), I was swept straight back to my childhood memories at the British seaside with buckets and spades, melting raspberry ripple ice creams, and that warm, sticky joy of childhood summers on the beach.

But before we dive into the details, let’s rewind for a second…
Who are Jo Malone London?
If you’re not already obsessed with Jo Malone London, where have you been? They’re an iconic British lifestyle and fragrance house known for their beautifully unique colognes, gorgeous gift sets, and instantly recognisable cream and black packaging. Whether it’s a signature scent or a one off seasonal favourite, everything they create feels luxurious and timeless and this new launch is no different.
What is the Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple fragrance all about?
Think sun drenched holidays, sandy toes, and a generous scoop of raspberry ripple on the promenade. This fragrance was designed to celebrate everything we adore about seaside summers in the UK and it really delivers. I adore it because it's sweet without being sickly, and has a creamy warmth that makes it totally wearable, even as an everyday scent.
What does Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple actually smell like?
Great question because it’s so unique and I know you may be thinking 'but I don't want to smell like an ice cream.' Well let me tell you, you won't! Raspberry Ripple opens with a juicy pop of redcurrant (tart but tangy), before softening into a creamy heart note of raspberry. Then, just when you think it’s all fruity fun, it settles down with a gorgeous, clean white musk base that lingers beautifully on the skin.
So if you’re someone who usually finds fruity fragrances a bit too sweet, don’t worry, this one is balanced, grown-up, and dare I say a little addictive.
Is it really limited edition?
Yes! Raspberry Ripple is a limited edition fragrance, which means once it’s gone, it’s gone. If you’re a Jo Malone collector (guilty) or just love summer scents that spark joy, I’d highly recommend grabbing this one while you can.
What else is in the collection?
While Raspberry Ripple is clearly the star of the show, Jo Malone has also included a special edition of their beloved Wood Sage & Sea Salt cologne as part of this nostalgic seaside launch. Think windswept beaches, sea spray, and driftwood, it’s the perfect fresh contrast to Raspberry Ripple’s sweetness, and honestly, the two layer really well together!
Where can I buy Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple Cologne?

Will I wear Raspberry Ripple all summer?
Absolutely. It’s light, fruity, nostalgic and feels like a hug in scent form. I’ve worn it to brunch, beach walks, and even a couple of weddings already. The number of “what are you wearing?” questions I’ve had says it all!
Is Jo Malone Raspberry Ripple scent gift worthy?
Without a doubt. In true Jo Malone style, everything comes perfectly wrapped and ready to delight the person you are giving it to. Whether you're buying for yourself (which you should) or treating someone just because, this feels like such a joyful, celebratory scent and conjours up summer memories.
Final thoughts: Is Raspberry Ripple worth it?
For me, 100% yes. It’s one of the most playful, feel-good launches Jo Malone has ever done. There’s something about the combination of fruit and musk that just works. It’s wearable, mood boosting and unlike anything else in my fragrance wardrobe. Don’t miss it!
