Which Should You Buy?
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initial sniffs might scream "church incense", but give it time and you'll find a smoky, resinous amber that's surprisingly wearable. It's divisive, for sure - some find it too mature or fleeting, others call it Jo Malone's best.

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but its sophisticated and alluring amber profile is perfect for dates and formal events. The warmth and depth also lend themselves well to casual evening wear in colder months.
