Which Should You Buy?
This is MFK's most divisive creation, a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of alluring, dirty honey, while others recoil from its intense animalic character. Not for the faint of heart, it's either pure magic or a scrubber.
This one's a proper divisive scent; you'll either get an intriguing, smoky wood or a sharpie-and-plastic mess. Definitely sample first, as it's not a safe blind buy by any stretch.
