Which Should You Buy?
Ginger Biscuit is Jo Malone's take on a festive classic, delivering photorealistic gourmand comfort. While its ephemeral nature might leave some wanting more, especially for the price, the sheer deliciousness and cosy vibe make it a holiday hit for many.
A divisive take on the candied ginger trend, Ginger Babe delivers a punchy spicy opening that settles into a comforting gourmand. It's not for everyone, with some finding the initial blast too sharp or reminiscent of shaving cream, but many adore its cosy, festive warmth.
