Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nashi Blossom EDC
Nashi Blossom is Jo Malone's delicate, fresh, and slightly sweet secret weapon for spring. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love subtle florals, but can be a bit too understated for fans of bolder scents. A fleeting beauty, prepare to re-apply.

Our Verdict - Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte EDC
This one is a proper head-scratcher. It's either the absolute pinnacle of clean, fresh perfumery, or it smells like budget cleaning products and urine. There's no in-between, so sample first, and brace yourself for the full Marmite experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Nashi Blossom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its light, clean, and floral nature with a moderate sillage makes it ideal for office, casual, and even sport wear. The subtle projection means it's unobtrusive, but its delicacy might get lost in formal settings or on a serious date night. Reviewers consistently highlight its suitability for daily wear and its inoffensiveness.

Aqua Universalis Cologne Forte

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, fresh profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office settings, and post-gym freshness. While some find its longevity surprising for a 'freshie', its overall light character makes it less suited for formal events or intimate dates where something more captivating might be preferred.
