Which Should You Buy?
This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its spicy-woody complexity or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique standout.
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, unique blend of saffron and woods, but Jo Malone's usual tricks mean it vanishes quicker than your hopes of finding a full-sized bottle at a decent price. Loved by many, but its shocking performance will have you fuming.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Its bold and warm character, driven by strong woody and amber accords, makes it better suited for evening and cooler weather occasions. While too intense for a typical office, it holds its own at formal events and makes a statement on a date.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intimate projection makes it ideal for office wear, avoiding any olfactory assaults on colleagues. While pleasant for dates or casual outings, its poor longevity means it won't last through a full evening, a common complaint among reviewers.
