Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Myrrh & Tonka EDC
A divisive but undeniably potent amber and tonka bomb. It's a statement scent, with some calling it a winter must-have and others finding it simply too much. If you like your warmth with serious projection, this is for you.
Favourite
Our Verdict - JM16 - Myrrh and Tonka EDP
A simple but faithful take on Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka's lavender-myrrh-tonka shape, a little flatter and less resinous than the original but recognisably in the same family.
