Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sorrel & Lemon Thyme EDC
This Jo Malone scent is a bit divisive - some call it clean and refreshing, while others think it smells like kitchen cleaner. If you want a natural, crisp lemon and herb experience, it's a solid choice, but don't expect a groundbreaking performance.

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Jo Loves (Jo Malone) - Sorrel & Lemon Thyme. Built around Lemon, Orange, Geranium, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Jo Loves (Jo Malone) - Sorrel & Lemon Thyme.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sorrel & Lemon Thyme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it ideal for casual wear, including the office, without being intrusive. However, its lack of standout projection and sensual depth means it's less suited for formal events or romantic dates where more impact might be desired.

Citrus Hibiscus

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the citrus, aromatic profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the citrus accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
