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 - Velvet Rose and Oud - 101 EDP
A recognisable nod to Jo Malone's Velvet Rose & Oud, pairing the same dark rose-and-oud idea, but flatter and less velvety than the original, with a noticeably shorter smoky trail.
