Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Gorgeous, unique blend of saffron and woods, but Jo Malone's usual tricks mean it vanishes quicker than your hopes of finding a full-sized bottle at a decent price. Loved by many, but its shocking performance will have you fuming.
Divisive and aptly named, yet not for the reasons you'd expect. Forget tropical cocktails; this is a dense, spicy, leathery beast some call a masterpiece, others burnt toast. Try before you buy, it's certainly a conversation starter.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its intimate projection makes it ideal for office wear, avoiding any olfactory assaults on colleagues. While pleasant for dates or casual outings, its poor longevity means it won't last through a full evening, a common complaint among reviewers.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong woody, spicy, and leathery accords, and mentions of impressive longevity and projection, this scent is better suited to date nights or formal events. It may be too bold for an office setting and definitely not for sport.
