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 divisive beast. Some adore its sweet lavender and vanilla, others absolutely despise its potent, cloying warmth. Expect a strong reaction, one way or another.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
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
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.
Occasions
Its intensity and sweetness make it unsuitable for the office or sport. The bold, warm character is best suited for an intimate date night in cooler conditions, as many reviewers highlight its potent projection and overwhelming nature in warmer weather.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Vanilla, Woody accords and Lavender, Geranium notes
