Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Escape EDP
This 90s powerhouse is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a strong, complex ride of fruity florals and herbal notes, with serious sillage and longevity - if your skin chemistry agrees.

Our Verdict - New York Musk EDP
New York Musk is a divisive masterpiece of musk and wood, striking some as a sophisticated, alluring skin scent, while others recoil from its animalic nature. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent for those who dare to venture into bold musky territory.
