Which Should You Buy?
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.
This polarizing scent has folks divided. Some hail it as a masterclass in green, woody freshness, evoking misty Scottish Highlands, while others dismiss it as a barbershop afterthought. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but a unique experience if it clicks.
