This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Marketed as Amber Oud Ahad, but the 'oud' is a ghost, and some folks are picking up gourmand notes where there shouldn't be any. Still, if you like a warm amber-rose with a neroli kick, it delivers, even if it's not the most adventurous journey.

This one's a perfectly pleasant, if unexciting, Jo Malone effort. It's safe, magnolia-heavy, and does exactly what it says on the tin. Don't expect fireworks or longevity, but it's a solid, inoffensive choice for everyday wear.
