Jo Malone Vanilla Scotch was released in 2026 as a limited-edition holiday cologne from the Tartan Tales Christmas collection, inspired by a castle in the Scottish Highlands. It features notes of scotch whisky accord, vanilla, roasted tonka bean and amber. A warm, grown-up fireside vanilla with a dry splash of whisky, made for cold nights and cozy sweaters.
From the brand - "A festive adventure in the Highlands. Warm indulgent vanilla blended with a spirited splash of a Scotch whisky accord, tumbling over roasted tonka bean and wrapped in the sensual allure of golden amber. Presented in a special festive glass design."
Fragrantica - "This is the woody vanilla I’ve been looking for. It’s so dry, almost austere - but not quite. For a Jo Malone, the longevity and projection is great. ... It’s a glorious, slightly spiced, woody vanilla shot through with a silky ribbon of clean Scotch."
Fragrantica - "It's like sipping a scotch on the rocks at a holiday cocktail party. Or even a scotch and soda, the way the fragrance kind of pops. Almost effervescent or cool, while beeing boozy, sweet, inviting, and cozy. The type of scent you just want to be around."
Fragrantica - "Not a safe blind buy. And this is not going to be universally liked. The opening of this is a bit screechy but when it settles down it's a very interesting unisex vanilla. ... Imagine a handsome alternative lumberjack just came in from chopping wood to make brown butter vanilla bean cupcakes."
National World - "It's not overpowering, but it gives the sweetness of the vanilla a wonderfully grown-up twist. The result is a rich, warming fragrance that feels luxurious and indulgent without being overly sugary."
