Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New Haarlem Eau de Parfum

Divisive, love-it-or-hate-it. This 'sexy pancakes' scent has a cult following who adore its edible warmth and beast mode performance, but it's not for everyone. Some find the maple syrup note overwhelming and artificial, leaning into cloying territory.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Legend Eau de Parfum

A seriously impressive gourmand for the price, MJ Legend punches well above its weight. Don't expect niche-level longevity, but for a coffee-amber hug, it's a slam dunk.
