Jo Malone London - English Oak & Redcurrant English Oak & Redcurrant (referred to as “Redcurrant” for the rest of my review) is my second review of the English Oak release from Jo Malone. Whereas English Oak & Hazelnut is a woody spicy fragrance, Redcurrant is meant to transform the roasted oak into a floral fruity one. Redcurrant opens with a bright, tart redcurrant and mandarin note. The note is reminiscent of a sunrise in that if the scent were color, it would be bright yellow and orange. Within about 15 minutes the fruit notes are joined by rose. The rose is a freshly picked, slightly sprinkled with dew rose scent. The rose pairs nicely with the fruit which has already begun to soften. There is a light dusting of musk which begins to create additional depth to this fragrance. The musk is present enough to hold back the rose from overtaking the fragrance. There is a slight spiciness to the fragrance at about an hour...
