Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Emblem Eau de Parfum
Montblanc Emblem is a friendly, versatile scent with a spicy-fresh vibe that often sparks debate. While some rave about its unique charm and mass appeal, others dismiss it as safe and unremarkable. It's a bit of a chameleon, often compared to popular fragrances, but ultimately carving out its own niche.

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.
