Sea Salt & Bergamot Cologne

Published

Sea Salt & Bergamot is the eau de Cologne that Jo Malone London introduced on August 4, 2026, composed by Mathilde Bijaoui. The house draws it from the Celtic Sea: a luminous bergamot in the top, a mineral sea salt in the heart, a driftwood accord in the base, for a fresh, woody fragrance that extends the Wood Sage & Sea Salt series.

Carla Mansueto of Together Journal, a loyal wearer of Wood Sage & Sea Salt for years, praises its balance: clean and fresh without the excess of a summer scent, woody and grounded, to wear by day as by night.

What critics say

A Balanced Freshness

Carla Mansueto, writing for Together Journal, discovered Sea Salt & Bergamot at the fragrance’s launch in New Zealand. A loyal wearer of Wood Sage & Sea Salt for years, she expected a great deal, and finds the composition pleasingly simple.

She warms at once to the bright freshness of the bergamot, and to the driftwood that slips a light, warm woodiness beneath it. She recognizes the Jo Malone London touch: a scent with character that never takes over.

An Everyday Fragrance

For her, balance is what makes it so wearable: clean and fresh without the excess of a summer scent, it softens into a calm, grounded woodiness. She would wear it every day and trust it with her evenings too.

She finds it pleasingly gender-neutral, as easy to picture on her husband as on herself. Since the launch, it has become the bottle she reaches for first, every day.
