Which Should You Buy?
A beloved, much-missed Jo Malone classic, this fig scent leans green and woody rather than milky sweet. It's a natural, authentic fig that left many gutted by its discontinuation.
Prepare for a long haul: Galatea is a fruity-leather that demands serious maceration - we're talking months, maybe even a year - to reveal its full, genuinely impressive potential. Out of the box? Expect anything from plastic to burnt rubber.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, green, and slightly earthy profile, combined with typical Jo Malone light sillage and moderate longevity, makes it perfect for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too understated for formal events and not overtly romantic for dates, but its natural freshness suits daytime activities perfectly.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This powerful, long-lasting scent with moderate projection is too commanding for an office setting but perfect for dates and evening events. Its unique edgy character makes it a good fit for sophisticated casual outings, though definitely not for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Aromatic, Woody, Fruity accords and Jasmine, Cedar notes
