Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Roses EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you crave a brutally realistic, unapologetic rose, you've found your match. But if you prefer your florals dialled down, best run a mile.

Our Verdict - French Lime Blossom EDP
This one's a divisive one. Loved by many as a true-to-life linden blossom experience, others find it too soapy, too sweet, or akin to men's shaving foam. Definitely sample before committing.

Its potent projection and impressive longevity, especially for a Jo Malone, make it less suited for an enclosed office. However, its romantic and elegant floral character makes it perfect for dates and eveningwear, while remaining versatile enough for casual settings for rose lovers.

Office Date

Its fresh, clean floral character makes it quite versatile for casual and daytime wear, though its soapy aspects might not suit everyone for a date or formal event.
