Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet addictive, Dark Amber & Ginger Lily is a masterclass in elegant spice. Forget basic, this is complex, sophisticated, and surprisingly versatile, despite its performance issues.
No.685 borrows Jo Malone's Dark Amber & Ginger Lily formula almost note-for-note - cardamom and ginger up top, water lily and jasmine at heart, sandalwood, incense and patchouli underneath. It runs a touch louder and simpler than the Jo Malone original's famously restrained blending, but the spicy-floral-woody shape is unmistakably the same fragrance.
