Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Vetiver & Golden Vanilla Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Hits you with a complex vetiver-vanilla combo that's got everyone chatting. It's often compared to other heavy-hitters - and for once, the Jo Malone holds its own. Don't expect sweetness; do expect sophistication. It's definitely one of JM's better efforts, which might be why it's constantly rumoured to be discontinued.

Our Verdict - Chemystery Eau de Parfum
This isn't just a perfume, it's a personality test. Chemystery by Ajmal is a divisive blast from the past - some love its complex, green-spicy freshness, others find it too unusual. It's a statement, not a crowd-pleaser.
