Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Velvet Rose & Oud EDP
Skip the MFK and the hefty price tag; this Jo Malone pulls off the beloved rose and oud combo with undeniable grace and just enough edge to keep things interesting. It's a powerhouse for the brand, giving more bang for your buck than most JMs.
Statement
Our Verdict - Edinburgh EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (2015) - rose, oud and oud translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
