Which Should You Buy?
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.
Mercedes-Benz Sign is a surprisingly good, versatile, blue-leaning fragrance that punches well above its price point. It's often compared to popular "blue" scents but manages to carve out its own space with a warm, spicy twist, making it an underrated gem for many.

Its warm, subtle cacao and often limited projection make it perfect for casual and intimate date settings. It's generally too understated for formal events and unsuitable for sport, while its cosy warmth means it's pretty good for the office if you don't overdo it.
