Which Should You Buy?
This one's a straight-up zesty orange hit, but don't go in expecting marmalade - it's more rind than jam. Jo Malone has delivered a perfectly pleasant, if somewhat unremarkable, citrus burst for those who like to keep things simple and fresh, though it's certainly divided the crowd.
Don't let the name fool you - Jo Malone's Orange Marmalade is a divisive scent. Some call it an authentic, sophisticated citrus, a warm hug of orange peel and woods. Others see it as a linear, underwhelming, or even masculine aftershave. Definitely one to try before you commit.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, understated citrus and woody profile makes it superb for casual wear and the office, where it won't offend. However, its lack of projection and 'simple' nature mean it's less suited for dates or formal events where something bolder might be preferred.
