Which Should You Buy?

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.

Our Verdict - Mandarin & Mint EDP
Don't let the name Mandarin & Mint fool you; this one's a divisive brew. Reviewers reckon it's a citrus cleaning product in a bottle and doesn't last, calling it a huge disappointment. Approach with caution, as it might be a big swerve.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Mandarin & Mint

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Given the 'lemon cleaning fluid' comparison and poor reported longevity, it's best suited for casual wear or perhaps the office if you prefer something light and unobtrusive. Its fresh, clean profile makes it suitable for sport, but its lack of projection means it won't stand out on a date or at a formal event.
