Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Wood Sage & Sea Salt EDC
A sheer, sea-breeze aroma that exudes casual elegance. Wood Sage & Sea Salt is the essence of British coastline in a bottle, beautifully airy and quietly distinctive.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cape Town EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt (2014) - ambrette, sage and driftwood translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
