Which Should You Buy?
NR Musk is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent. Folks either absolutely adore its unique, soft masculinity or recoil from its strong, 'old-school' character. Not a safe blind buy, but a masterpiece to those who get it.
This Armaf offering is a surprisingly divisive crowd-pleaser. The official notes are clearly dodgy, but it's universally praised as a dead ringer for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle or Lancôme's La Vie Est Belle, delivering 'expensive' scent at a bargain price. Just be prepared for a generous dose of patchouli.
