Which Should You Buy?
Tom Ford's Musk Pure is undeniably divisive, eliciting both adoration for its unique clean, luxurious character and outright revulsion for its soapy, almost industrial facets. For those who connect with it, it's a nostalgic, clean skin-scent that's just pure class; for others, it's a trip to a public loo. You either love it or hate it, and there's no in-between.
This one's a mixed bag. Some are raving about its beautiful floral gourmand character, while others are utterly put off by what they describe as screeches and synthetic notes. Don't blind buy; this is one you'll need to try on skin first.
