Which Should You Buy?
This green-violet delight is a divisive modern classic. Lovers consider it a sophisticated masterpiece, others find it too masculine or simply 'meh'. It's refined and understated, perfect for those who appreciate elegant green florals that challenge expectations.
This aquatic floral is a polarizing pick-me-up. Some find it a refreshing, clean fig, perfect for hot days. Others, however, are put off by its green or citrusy facets, leading to a 'love it or leave it' divide. Expect Jo Malone's usual fleeting performance.
