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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Wild Fig and Cassis - 787 EDP
No. 787 recreates Jo Malone's Wild Fig & Cassis - sun-ripened fig and sharp black currant leaf over a woody-earthy base. Jo Malone's original is already famous for modest longevity, so the dupe's shorter wear stands out less than usual, though No. 787's fig reads a touch sweeter and less green than the tart, leafy original.
