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.
This "Aztec Cacao" is less about chocolate and more about spicy, boozy florals with a nuanced cacao undercurrent. It's unique, but don't expect a gourmand; many find the cacao elusive. Performance is often intimate, making it more of a personal indulgence than a statement.
