Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Agava & Cacao Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper dark horse from Jo Malone, a cult classic often mourned for its scarcity. It's divisive, with some finding it a unique, warm cacao dream and others, a fleeting, almost waxy mess. Expect a cosy, subtly gourmand experience, but be mindful of its legendary disappearing act for some people.

Our Verdict - Centaurus Eau de Parfum
This is a divisive one. Many hail Centaurus as a beast-mode, luxurious tobacco-vanilla, while others dismiss it as an overpriced holiday candle, lacking originality and far too sweet. Creed die-hards might find it a departure, but it's clearly a crowd-pleasing warm spicy amber that makes a statement.
