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 - Futura La Homme Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive beast. Some reckon it's a stellar Montblanc Emblem dupe that pulls serious compliments, while others find its notes a clashing, headache-inducing mess. It's a real love-it-or-hate-it kind of frag.
