Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Silk Blossom EDC
A pretty, delicate floral that's either a dream for hot, humid days or an overpriced disappointment with vanishing longevity. Expect little 'wow' factor but plenty of easygoing charm if it works for you.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Silk Blossom Cologne EDP
This 2020 Jo Malone offering seems to have missed the mark, especially for fans of earlier versions. The consensus is clear: it's a monumental let-down in performance and overall scent profile. Best to steer clear, unless you enjoy feeling ripped off.

Season and Occasion Fit

Silk Blossom

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

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 floral and fruity character makes it perfect for casual wear and the office, where it's unlikely to offend. However, its often-criticised poor longevity and sillage mean it might not make an impact for dates or formal events where more presence is desired.

Silk Blossom Cologne

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Sport
Also Works:
Casual

Given the widespread reports of extremely poor longevity and sillage, this fragrance struggles to make an impact in any setting. Its ephemeral nature might just about work as a very subtle, close-quarters scent for the office or a quick refresh after sport, but it's far too weak for dates or formal events.
