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 - B.A.D. Homme Eau de Parfum
If you're after the Bad Boy EDT vibe without the designer price tag, this is your shout. Word on the street is the scent is spot-on, though you'll need to be handy with a travel atomizer.
