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.
No. 895 follows Jo Malone's English Oak & Hazelnut Cologne Intense into roasted-oak-and-hazelnut territory, and the woody-nutty core is a fair likeness. It reads simpler and less textured than the original though, missing the cognac facet and clary sage lift that give Jo Malone's version its distinctive depth.
