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's a proper divider. Some reckon it's a classy, sweet amber dream, others find it a scrubber with a jarring mix of almond blossom and neroli. You'll either love it or hate it, so definitely don't blind buy.
