English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne vs 304 Cumin, Fleur d'Amandier, Cèdre Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Jo Malone outing. Some find this woody, nutty concoction a fresh, clean, office-friendly delight, while others are disappointed by its lack of hazelnut and general 'aftershave' scent. It's an understated charmer, not a crowd-pleaser.
This one's a proper grower, not a shower. Initial impressions might lead you astray, but give it time and you'll find a sophisticated, spicy amber that’s a dead ringer for more expensive niche scents - if you like cumin, that is.

Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique spicy profile make it fantastic for dates and formal events, striking a balance between being noticeable and refined. While suitable for office wear, the distinct cumin might not be everyone’s cup of tea, and it's certainly not one for the gym.
