Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Orris & Sandalwood EDC
This is a love-it-or-hate-it Jo Malone creation. Its prominent orris note is undeniably divisive, with some reviewers finding it
Favourite
Our Verdict - Narciso Rodriguez for Him EDP

Season and Occasion Fit

Orris & Sandalwood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and spring.

Best For:
Office Casual

Narciso Rodriguez for Him

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A dense musky-woody-amber composition performs best in cooler months where it can sit close to the skin without overwhelming.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The velvety musk-amber signature is designed for formal evenings and intimate dates, not daytime or casual wear.
