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.

Our Verdict - Caracas EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka (2016) - lavender, myrrh and tonka bean translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Its amber and vanilla dominance make it fantastic for evenings and colder weather, particularly date nights or formal events where its strong projection can shine. However, its intensity means it can be overwhelming for a typical office environment or casual daytime wear.
