Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wild Fig & Cassis EDP
A beloved, much-missed Jo Malone classic, this fig scent leans green and woody rather than milky sweet. It's a natural, authentic fig that left many gutted by its discontinuation.

Our Verdict - Thirsty Extrait
Thirsty is a bold statement, evoking strong opinions. It’s either a refreshing masterpiece or a synthetic disaster-there’s hardly a middle ground here.

Its fresh, green, and slightly earthy profile, combined with typical Jo Malone light sillage and moderate longevity, makes it perfect for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too understated for formal events and not overtly romantic for dates, but its natural freshness suits daytime activities perfectly.
