Which Should You Buy?
Jicky is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that polarises opinion, from 'mothballs and bad breath' to 'uniquely intriguing'. Give it time to settle, and you'll be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated, clean drydown that hints at its legendary status.
This one is a dark horse; unexpectedly sweet and charming. Don't let the brand name fool you into thinking it's just for petrolheads. It’s a pleasant surprise that might just turn into a guilty pleasure.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords lean towards more formal and intimate settings, but it can be worn in the office if applied lightly. The initial challenging opening means it's not an instant crowd-pleaser for casual wear or sport.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its fresh and aromatic opening makes it versatile for casual and daytime wear, including sport. The subtle sweetness balances it for a relaxed date night without being overpowering. It's generally inoffensive enough for an office, but not a showstopper for formal events.
