Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana is a wild floral cologne built around davana, honeysuckle and moss, and Maids Scents carries the authentic bottle with delivery across Nigeria and beyond.
What is Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana?
Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana launched in 2018, created by perfumer Anne Flipo alongside Celine Roux, Jo Malone’s head of fragrance development. The brand describes the fragrance poetically as the wildness of honeysuckle winding through the British countryside, climbing, twisting, ever more alluring after dark.
Davana itself is a genuinely unusual raw material, a real aromatic herb, Artemisia pallens, grown to harvest its essential oil. It has a naturally sweet, fruity character with hints of liquorice, and its scent is genuinely known to shift and vary noticeably from one person’s skin to another. Perfumer Anne Flipo describes her process as starting with fresh, bright rose oxide and neroli, letting the honeysuckle rise and brighten alongside rose and a slightly fruity osmanthus, with davana helping enhance the woody signature of moss and sandalwood underneath.
Fragrance Profile
Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana opens with davana, a green, complex introduction one detailed reviewer describes as sweet, herbaceous and slightly boozy, with a little chamomile, a little hay and a whiff of cooling camphor woven through it.
As it develops, the heart brings in honeysuckle and rose, radiant and profusely floral. One reviewer specifically notes a soft trace of jasmine here too, comparing it to the same jasmine-adjacent quality found in Dior’s J’Adore, a genuinely useful reference point if you already know that fragrance.
The base settles into moss, earthy and quietly woody, evocative of undergrowth damp with fresh rain. More than one reviewer describes this musky, earthy base as exactly what makes the fragrance wearable, grounding the sweetness of the florals rather than letting it turn cloying.
Top Note: Davana
Heart Notes: Honeysuckle, Rose
Base Note: Moss
Who Should Wear Honeysuckle & Davana?
Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana suits anyone who wants a genuinely distinctive, unusual floral rather than a straightforward, predictable one. It’s a strong pick for spring and summer, though more than one enthusiastic reviewer specifically wears it year-round, and its genuinely unisex character means it works equally well on anyone.
Performance and Longevity
It’s genuinely worth being honest that Jo Malone colognes often have modest longevity given their lighter concentration. Honeysuckle & Davana is specifically flagged by more than one detailed reviewer as a real stand-out within the house for actually performing well, with one enthusiastic wearer reporting it still detectable days after application.
If you want to build even more depth, one reviewer specifically suggests layering it with Jo Malone’s Oud & Bergamot or Pomegranate Noir, consistent with the brand’s own Fragrance Combining philosophy.
Best Time to Wear Honeysuckle & Davana in Nigeria
Given its genuinely bright, floral, slightly fruity character, Jo Malone London Honeysuckle & Davana suits Nigeria’s warm climate especially well for spring and summer daytime wear, though its earthy moss base gives it enough depth to hold up comfortably year-round too.
