Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oolong Tea EDC
This one is a real head-scratcher and a classic case of Jo Malone's limited editions causing a fuss. It's a gorgeous, comforting honeyed gourmand for those who get it, but many found it too fleeting and subtle to justify the price or even detect the tea. If you find a good batch, you're in for a treat; otherwise, don't say we didn't warn you about the performance roulette.

Our Verdict - Vanille 18:00 Parfum
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a sophisticated honey-vanilla that's richer and darker than its stablemates, but some folks are left wanting more of the promised tobacco. It's a love-it-or-leave-it take on a sweet scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oolong Tea

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and generally soft nature make it suitable for casual wear and dates, offering a comforting aura. While some found it too light for formal settings, its elegance keeps it from being completely out of place. The inconsistent performance means it's less ideal for office environments where you need reliable longevity and silage.

Vanille 18:00

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, dark and sweet profile, particularly the honey and vanilla, makes it better suited for evening and intimate settings rather than a professional office. The luxurious feel lends itself well to formal events, though perhaps a touch too heavy for everyday casual wear.
