Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Dark Amber & Ginger Lily EDP
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.

Our Verdict - No.685 Dark Amber & Ginger Lily Parfum
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.

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its sophisticated warmth and subtle sensuality are perfect for dates and autumn evenings. The unique blend allows it to flex into casual and formal settings, though its generally weak longevity, as noted by many, means constant reapplication if you want it to last.
