We wish that this hand cream didn't, somehow, sound scratchy – because of that word 'walnut' in the name. Because it's actually the opposite: super-smoothing, rich (yet sinks in pleasingly fast), and – well, this is Jo Malone London we're talking about – the velvety cream smells wonderful, with light wafts of geranium. (One of our most nostalgic smells.)

The 'walnut' refers to a warm, nutty note that counterbalances the aromatic geranium – but in fact, this has been specifically designed to complement any of Jo Malone London's fragrances, without overhwhelming.

Our tip? Slather it on your wrists, too, to make a chosen scent last longer.
