Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wild Fig & Cassis EDP
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.

Our Verdict - LOOK UP NOW: Life Is Surprising For Him EDT
This one's a fleeting green freshie. Pleasant enough, but don't expect it to stick around. It's universally agreeable if you're into that sort of thing on a basic level.

Season and Occasion Fit

Wild Fig & Cassis

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

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

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean profile, combined with generally poor longevity, makes it a safe bet for casual wear and the office, where subtlety is often key. You wouldn't pick this for a date or formal event; it simply doesn't have the depth or staying power.
