Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk Maliki EDP
A gentle, intimate floral musk that evokes a lush garden. It's a safe blind buy for floral lovers, though its subtle projection leaves some wishing for a stronger presence. Definitely a scent for personal enjoyment rather than making a grand entrance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Gucci Rush 2 EDT
This discontinued darling is a bona-fide crowd-pleaser, adored for its unique freshness. Prepare to pay through the nose if you want to relive this early 00s icon - the clamour for its return highlights its enduring appeal.
