Which Should You Buy?
This cult classic is a divisive beast: some hail it as a stunning, sensual masterpiece with vintage allure, while others recoil from its intense, 'old-school' animalic and aldehydic punch. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for those who dare.
This one's a proper clean-laundry musk you'll either adore beyond words or absolutely despise. It’s got a divisive, almost screechy opening for some, but a beautiful, comforting drydown for those it clicks with. Definitely leans more feminine for many.
