Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - D&G Anthology La Temperance 14 EDP
This one's a proper British conundrum - lovely, soft, and classy, but about as long-lasting as a summer fling. It's a skin scent that disappears quicker than your paycheque, which is a real shame given its gorgeous, comforting aroma. A quiet charmer, if you don't mind reapplying constantly.
Statement
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

Season and Occasion Fit

D&G Anthology La Temperance 14

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

Its gentle sillage and poor longevity make it perfect for office wear or casual settings where you want something inoffensive. It's too subtle for a formal event or a date where you want to make a statement, and completely unsuitable for sport due to its delicate nature.

Orris & Sandalwood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

With moderate longevity and low sillage, this is a refined choice for the office, casual wear, or a reserved date. Its subtle nature makes it less ideal for formal events requiring a stronger presence or for sports.
