Our Verdict

Missing Person and Musky Sandalwood both aim for a musky, woody profile, but they diverge in execution. Missing Person is all about subtle, skin-like intimacy - some find it comforting, others find it underwhelming or even off-putting. Musky Sandalwood, on the other hand, delivers a more balanced and crowd-pleasing blend of musk and creamy sandalwood. If you are looking for a safe, easy to wear sandalwood fragrance, Musky Sandalwood is the better choice. If you want something more unique and challenging, try Missing Person.

Choose Musky Sandalwood if...

Our Verdict - Missing Person EDP
This one's a proper divisive scent. For some, it's a nostalgic, clean skin-like hug, embodying subtle intimacy. For others, it's a weak, fleeting whisper of nothing, or worse, a peculiar smell they can't quite un-smell. Try before you buy, seriously.
