Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Elite Royal Blue EDP
Fresh, clean, and a bit basic - a solid, if unremarkable, scent. It's a fantastic budget-friendly option for those who want to smell good without any fuss, though some might find it a tad linear.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Orange Marmalade EDC
Don't let the name fool you - Jo Malone's Orange Marmalade is a divisive scent. Some call it an authentic, sophisticated citrus, a warm hug of orange peel and woods. Others see it as a linear, underwhelming, or even masculine aftershave. Definitely one to try before you commit.
