English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne vs Lagerfeld Classic Grey Eau de Toilette
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A divisive Jo Malone outing. Some find this woody, nutty concoction a fresh, clean, office-friendly delight, while others are disappointed by its lack of hazelnut and general 'aftershave' scent. It's an understated charmer, not a crowd-pleaser.
This one is a divisive brew - some find it an overlooked gem, a creamy, woody comfort, while others are baffled by its blend, citing strange or unpleasant notes. Expect a varied reception, but at a bargain price, it's a risk some are willing to take for its unique character.
