Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musc Ravageur EDP
A legendary, carnal musk that wraps its wearer in a cloud of cinnamon, vanilla and animalic warmth. Not for the timid, Musc Ravageur is both refined and primal, decadent and magnetic.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Potent Seed EDP
Potent Seed chases Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur, the cult spicy-musk oriental, and lands its core: fiery cinnamon and clove over creamy vanilla, amber and skin-like musk. The dupe simplifies the original's plush, subtly animalic depth and clips its strong projection, wearing flatter and skin-close, but as a budget spiced-musk it captures the warm, sensual signature for a fraction of the price.
