Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Jo Malone offering that punches above its weight in performance, delivering a sophisticated amber and patchouli blend that some find perfect, while others are less inspired by its simplicity.
This one is definitely divisive. It's an authentic, old-school patchouli that some will adore for its nostalgic, earthy depth, while others will find it too 'musty' or 'old-fashioned'. If you're a patchouli purist, you'll likely be impressed, but this isn't for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.
Occasions
Its subtle yet persistent nature makes it excellent for office wear, as noted by community reviews. The warmth of amber and patchouli lends itself well to date nights and formal events, though its understated projection might get lost in very loud settings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, this scent is too bold for a typical office environment. However, its rich and mysterious character makes it perfect for a romantic date or a sophisticated evening out. It's also great for casual wear when you want to feel unique and embrace its nostalgic charm.
