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 - Marien Lamare EDP
Marien Lamare is Fragrance Mall UK's own oriental-woody blend, not a stated dupe of any single designer scent. Just three notes - incense, amber and patchouli - run the whole show, giving a warm, resinous scent that is straightforward and a touch one-note rather than genuinely complex.
