Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber & Patchouli EDC
A divisive Jo Malone offering that punches above its weight in performance, delivering a sophisticated amber and patchouli blend that some find perfect, while others are less inspired by its simplicity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.426 Bois d'Argent Parfum
No.426 pursues Dior's Bois d'Argent, keeping the cool iris-cypress-juniper opening and suede-tinged woody base recognisable, but rendering the myrrh-patchouli heart and the luxurious suede accord notably thinner and less textured than the Maison Christian Dior original.

Its subtle yet persistent nature makes it excellent for office wear, as noted by community reviews. The warmth of amber and patchouli lends itself well to date nights and formal events, though its understated projection might get lost in very loud settings.
