Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Starry Nights Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper beast - you'll either love its intense rose-musk-apple bomb or find it a synthetic headache. It's divisive, loud, and definitely not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique, compliment-pulling superstar.

Our Verdict - Black Muscs Eau de Parfum
If you're after a clean, radiant rose with a musky backdrop, Black Muscs delivers - but don't expect 'black' or animalic depth. It's a crowd-pleasing fresh scent, perfect for those who want a delicate, bright take on rose and often find the Montale comparison unflattering.
