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 - Zenith Noire EDT
Zenith Noire is a fascinating take on classic smoky incense, offering depth without demanding attention. It's a solid choice for those who appreciate intriguing fragrances, though some might find its performance a tad reserved.

Season and Occasion Fit

Amber & Patchouli

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its subtle yet persistent nature makes it excellent for office wear, as noted by community reviews. The warmth of amber and patchouli lends itself well to date nights and formal events, though its understated projection might get lost in very loud settings.

Zenith Noire

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

With a strong incense and amber profile that leans towards discreet projection, this scent is suitable for everyday wear and casual outings. Its subtle nature means it won't overpower in an office or on a date, though the smoky elements make it less ideal for very formal settings or active occasions.
