The Best Office-Friendly Fragrances for a Clean, Professional Scent

• Fragrance Family: Green/floral
• Concentration: Eau de cologne
• Motivation: Clean, crisp and elegant

A more contemporary reinterpretation of the OG Jo Malone London cologne, Lime Basil & Mandarin, this charismatic scent brings a heightened level of sophistication without being overbearing. Created by renowned perfumer Anne Flipo, it is the kind of fragrance that has great presence but won’t hijack or upstage an important business meeting.

Quintessentially British, I think it also has a slightly flirty and playful edge; a versatile scent that will have your back whether chained to the desk, lunching with clients or after-work entertaining. Fresh and herbaceous, the fragrance begins its journey with a top note of warm and peppery basil, before a deep dive into the green and floral facets of neroli, made from the hand-picked blossoms of the bitter orange tree.

Its base of white musk, which has a very clean quality, helps enhance the trail of the scent, tinged with a wink of vetiver. Outstanding in its simplicity, it will never let you down; in my opinion, a future classic in the making.
