Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jo Malone London Jasmine Sambac & Marigold
A graceful blend of jasmine and marigold, perfect for those who appreciate a sophisticated floral profile.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mimosa Cologne
This "Mimosa" is not for the faint of heart, nor for the modern nose. It's a remarkably polarising floral that many find overpowering and dated, smelling more of an elderly relative's bathroom than a sophisticated blooming garden. Approach with extreme caution - many samples seem to end up in the bin.

Seasons

Date Casual

Mimosa Cologne

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

No strong occasion fit

The strong, old-fashioned floral character makes this largely unsuitable for most modern occasions. Its intensity might be acceptable for some very formal, traditional events, but it's far too overwhelming for office, casual, or date settings.
