Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Jicky

Jicky is a bona fide classic, but it's not for everyone. Expect a challenging opening that polarises opinion, from 'mothballs and bad breath' to 'uniquely intriguing'. Give it time to settle, and you'll be rewarded with a complex, sophisticated, clean drydown that hints at its legendary status.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Oxford

Oxford is a complex, herbal powerhouse - a love-it-or-hate-it scent that some find unique and intriguing, while others struggle with its potent opening and perceived lack of linearity. It's bold, unapologetic, and definitely not for those who prefer delicate fragrances.

Season and Occasion Fit

Jicky

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Office Casual

Its sophisticated aromatic and woody accords lean towards more formal and intimate settings, but it can be worn in the office if applied lightly. The initial challenging opening means it's not an instant crowd-pleaser for casual wear or sport.

Oxford

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn

Also Works:

Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:

Casual

Also Works:

Date

Given its strong projection and complex, unconventional character, Oxford isn't ideal for office wear. It shines in casual settings or unique date nights where its distinctive nature can be appreciated, though it might be a bit too imposing for formal events. The mentions of it being a perfect weekend fragrance or suited for exploring old country houses reinforce its casual to semi-formal leanings.
