Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Incanto
A divisive fruity-floral, some love its clean, comforting vibe, while others find it generic or even harsh. It's a proper budget gem with a surprisingly sophisticated backbone for many, but definitely not a blind buy for everyone.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Plum Blossom (2017)
This one is a real head-scratcher for Jo Malone fans. Some find it beautiful and fresh, others are completely underwhelmed by a generic, shampoo-like scent. Given the price, there's a strong chance you'll feel short-changed, so sample first.

Season and Occasion Fit

Incanto

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate sillage and clean, inoffensive profile make it suitable for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. The comforting and smooth character lends itself well to casual daytime wear, but it's too light and understated for formal events, and certainly not for sport.

Plum Blossom (2017)

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle profile lends itself well to casual wear and office environments, as it's unlikely to offend. It lacks the punch or distinctiveness for formal events or major date nights, but could work for light daytime wear.
