Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sorrel & Lemon Thyme EDC
This Jo Malone scent is a bit divisive - some call it clean and refreshing, while others think it smells like kitchen cleaner. If you want a natural, crisp lemon and herb experience, it's a solid choice, but don't expect a groundbreaking performance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Duc De Vervins EDT
This one's a divisive classic. Some hail it as a more refined, upscale Drakkar Noir, while others dismiss it as an old-school, overly soapy relic. It's a proper 80s aromatic fougère that demands a certain appreciation for its vintage charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sorrel & Lemon Thyme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it ideal for casual wear, including the office, without being intrusive. However, its lack of standout projection and sensual depth means it's less suited for formal events or romantic dates where more impact might be desired.

Duc De Vervins

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its sophisticated, masculine scent and strong projection from vintage batches make it suitable for formal and office settings where a bold statement is desired, though modern formulations can lack the staying power. Some reviewers suggested it wouldn't be out of place in a professional environment, and it's certainly not fit for casual sports.
