Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Luxe Bold
This budget-friendly scent punches above its weight, delivering a unique woody-fruity musky vibe that leans masculine. It's a fresh, versatile option if you're after something a bit different, though some find it a touch synthetic.
Favourite
Our Verdict - New York Musk
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.
