Which Should You Buy?
Avon Soft Musk is a beloved classic that evokes strong nostalgia, bringing comfort and a sense of 'home' for many. However, new formulations have proven divisive, with some finding it too powdery or lacking its original depth. It's a risk, but the allure of the past might be worth it for some.
Coty Wild Musk is a divisive beast. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean, warm hug. For others, it's a weak, powdery disappointment or, worse, a 'poopy diaper' in a bottle. Reformulation has done it no favours, with many pining for the powerful vintage juice.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its poor longevity and intimate sillage make it suitable for casual wear or as a bedtime scent. While some find it office-safe due to its closeness, the potential for a 'dirty' musk note could be risky in formal settings. It's often described as a 'skin scent' rather than a stand-out fragrance.
