Which Should You Buy?
Skip the MFK and the hefty price tag; this Jo Malone pulls off the beloved rose and oud combo with undeniable grace and just enough edge to keep things interesting. It's a powerhouse for the brand, giving more bang for your buck than most JMs.
455 recreates Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud rose-and-praline signature closely - the rose is loud and true, though the oud smoke and clove spice sit thinner than the original's more textured, smoky wood. A cozy, rose-forward oud at a fraction of the price, if a fraction of the longevity.
