Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lotus Blossom & Water Lily EDC
This discontinued Jo Malone scent still has a devoted following thanks to its fresh, unique floral aquatic profile. While a few find it a bit too sharp, most praise its delicate balance of citrus zest, dewy florals, and a surprisingly warm, smoky base, longing for its return.
