Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Plum Blossom EDC
If a light, clean, and inoffensive floral scent is what you're after, Plum Blossom delivers. However, don't expect groundbreaking complexity; this is a pretty, if somewhat generic, offering from Jo Malone that's best for everyday freshness.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Phantom Extrait
Phantom is Aromara's take on Byredo Mojave Ghost, a soft skin-musk-and-floral cult favourite. Built at 35% Extrait, the ambrette-magnolia-sandalwood signature is close, though the dupe is fuller-bodied and less airy than Byredo's famously transparent original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Plum Blossom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean, and inoffensive floral profile, coupled with its generally lighter performance, makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While some reviewers enjoy it for evening, its subtlety might be lost in more formal or high-energy dating scenarios.

Phantom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn

A soft, musky floral that suits spring and autumn best, when its clean warmth feels most seasonal.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Versatile for the office and casual wear, gentle enough for a low-key date; not bold enough for formal occasions.
