Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Diamonds and Sapphires EDT
This 90s gem is a divisive scent experience, but a true cheapie powerhouse. Some find it a delightful, vibrant melon aquatic, others a headache-inducing synthetic nightmare. Approach with caution, but if it works for you, it's an absolute steal for day-to-day wear.
Statement
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Diamonds and Sapphires

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for casual and hot weather wear, according to many reviews. However, the strong projection and potential for being overwhelming, as noted by several users, lowers its suitability for formal settings and the office.

New York Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong, musky character, which can be perceived as animalic by some, makes it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its bold and sensual nature, coupled with decent longevity for some, makes it a compelling choice for dates and evenings out.
