Which Should You Buy?
A creamy, warm, and sophisticated floral for those who fancy a touch of luxury. While some find its longevity typical of Jo Malone (read: fleeting), others rave about its surprising staying power. It's either a love-at-first-sniff dream or a wet-wipe-and-playdough nightmare for some, proving it's anything but boring.
This one's a true unicorn - hyped to the stratosphere, almost impossible to find, and generally adored by those who snag a bottle. If you're after a creamy, sophisticated take on almond and vanilla, prepare for a desperate hunt, but it might just be worth it.
