Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Mimosa & Cardamom EDC
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either adore its warm, powdery mimosa charm making it an 'uncommon crowd-pleaser' or find yourself battling an unexpected 'baby wipes and disappointment' vibe. It's sunshine and spice, but for some, just spice.
Favourite
Our Verdict - No.686 Mimosa and Cardamom Parfum
A faithful nod to Jo Malone's Mimosa & Cardamom - the spicy-sweet cardamom opening and powdery mimosa heart are there - but the tonka base thins out sooner than the designer cologne's slow, comforting fade.

Its soft sillage and calm demeanour make it perfect for casual wear and office settings where it won't offend. However, a divisive 'body lotion' or 'baby wipes' feeling, along with limited longevity for some, makes it less ideal for formal events or sports.
