Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Safari EDP
A divisive beast. Some find its vintage, green-citrus punch exhilarating and unique; others find it a dated, overpowering ode to soap. Definitely try before you buy - Safari isn't for the faint of heart or those who like to blend in.
Statement
Our Verdict - Sorrel & Lemon Thyme EDC
This Jo Malone scent is a bit divisive - some call it clean and refreshing, while others think it smells like kitchen cleaner. If you want a natural, crisp lemon and herb experience, it's a solid choice, but don't expect a groundbreaking performance.

Season and Occasion Fit

Safari

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinctive green profile make it a bit much for close-quarters like the office or an intimate date, though some find it acceptable for formal wear. Safari truly shines casually, especially outdoors, where its freshness can be fully appreciated without being overwhelming.

Sorrel & Lemon Thyme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it ideal for casual wear, including the office, without being intrusive. However, its lack of standout projection and sensual depth means it's less suited for formal events or romantic dates where more impact might be desired.
