Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lotus Blossom & Water Lily EDC
This discontinued Jo Malone scent still has a devoted following thanks to its fresh, unique floral aquatic profile. While a few find it a bit too sharp, most praise its delicate balance of citrus zest, dewy florals, and a surprisingly warm, smoky base, longing for its return.

Our Verdict - Diva EDP
This isn't just another floral, it's a vibrant, unapologetic statement. Diva is for those who want their presence known, a bold and beautiful floral that refuses to blend in. It's an instant classic for anyone who loves unapologetic radiance.
