Which Should You Buy?
Gozo is a beast-mode, divisive scent. Love it or hate it, you absolutely will not be ignored. It's a sweet, playful tangle of tuberose and saffron with an odd, compelling doll-head plastic vibe that some find sexy and others, well, just plain weird.
A budget take on Jeroboam Gozo - the same star creamy tuberose softened by saffron and citrus over patchouli, musk and ambroxan. Island Bloom captures Gozo's lush white-floral heart but reads more linear and less artfully shaded than the niche extrait, trading its technicolour depth for a simpler, more affordable bloom.
