Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Tuberose Angelica EDP
This one is a real head-scratcher. Some say it's a 'dirty Fracas', others find it 'soft and innocent'. The truth? It's a gorgeous, albeit linear, tuberose that's perfect for a discerning white floral lover, if you don't mind the hit-or-miss longevity.

Our Verdict - Mexican Pearl EDP
A budget run at Jo Malone Tuberose Angelica - the same translucent, grown-up tuberose lifted by green angelica over a warm amber-wood base. Mexican Pearl catches the elegant character but renders it flatter and skin-close, missing the refined radiance of the original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Tuberose Angelica

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and divisive longevity mean it's generally versatile. It's a bit too sensual for a high office rating, but its elegant nature makes it suitable for both casual and formal settings. Not ideal for sport due to its floral focus.

Mexican Pearl

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The airy tuberose-amber profile suits spring through early autumn; deep winter mutes its translucent character.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

An elegant white floral that shines for dates, evenings and formal wear, with enough restraint for the office.
