Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Muscs Koublai Khan Eau de Parfum
Muscs Koublai Khan is a divisive scent, celebrated as a masterpiece by some and reviled as a foul beast by others. It's an infamous animalic that demands confidence and a thick skin. Definitely not a blind buy, unless you're a true fragrance adventurer.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pure Musk Eau de Parfum
This one's a true clean-freak's dream, polarising some with its intense soapy character, but beloved by many for its pristine, just-out-of-the-shower aura. Prepare for compliments on how good your laundry smells - in the best way possible. Not for those who avoid a strong, straightforward scent.

With its strong animalic accords and significant projection, this isn't for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best suited for intimate evenings, where its controversial sexual vibe can be appreciated, as it's not a scent for the faint-hearted.
