Which Should You Buy?
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that polarises opinion, from 'mothballs and bad breath' to 'uniquely intriguing'. Give it time to settle, and you'll be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated, clean drydown that hints at its legendary status.
This one's a proper shape-shifter: some smell a soft, clean vanilla that's effortlessly chic, others reckon it's a cloying, synthetic mess. It's a divisive scent, so test it on your skin before you commit.

Occasions
Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords lean towards more formal and intimate settings, but it can be worn in the office if applied lightly. The initial challenging opening means it's not an instant crowd-pleaser for casual wear or sport.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and fresh, clean dry-down make it ideal for the office or casual wear, as many users attested. However, the limited longevity and sillage mean it's less suited for formal events or sports where a stronger presence is desired.
