Which Should You Buy?
Ginger Biscuit is Jo Malone's take on a festive classic, delivering photorealistic gourmand comfort. While its ephemeral nature might leave some wanting more, especially for the price, the sheer deliciousness and cosy vibe make it a holiday hit for many.
Markessa is a divisive but captivating gourmand, blending sweet indulgence with a spiced kick. It's not for everyone, but those who love it, really *love* it-especially fans of the full-bodied, edible scents. Expect to stand out.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and delicious gourmand profile make it perfect for casual wear and close encounters like dates. The lack of projection and strong festive accords mean it's less suited for formal events or the office, where subtlety and a more versatile scent might be preferred. It's too sweet for sport.
Seasons
Occasions
This is a strong, sweet gourmand, making it a bit much for the office or formal events where subtlety is key. It's perfect for a date night where you want to make a memorable, warm impression, and equally lovely for casual outings when you're feeling indulgent.
