Which Should You Buy?
Kyoto is divisive, with some finding it a wispy, soapy disappointment, while others hail it as a masterpiece of calming, woody incense. It's subtle, serene, and absolutely ideal for intimate moments.
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.
