Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk EDC
A divisive classic, Jovan Musk is either a clean, comforting embrace or a trip down memory lane to Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's affordable, versatile, and unapologetically nostalgic, polarising opinions between adoration and indifference.

Our Verdict - Aristocrat EDP
This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some deem it a hidden gem for its unique oriental-meets-western character. Others? A bland, short-lived disappointment. Don't blind buy; the scent you get might not be the scent you tried in-store. If you're lucky, it's a classy everyday wear; if not, well, it's a Dettol-scented misfire.
