Which Should You Buy?
A divisive but undeniably potent amber and tonka bomb. It's a statement scent, with some calling it a winter must-have and others finding it simply too much. If you like your warmth with serious projection, this is for you.
Mr. Sillage chases Jo Malone's Myrrh & Tonka - lavender and almond over resinous myrrh, tonka bean and vanilla. Reviewers call it rich and buttery rather than synthetic-sweet, though it runs louder and less ethereal than the more restrained Jo Malone original.
