Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bloom

Don't let the 'vintage' in the name fool you, this is a modern, light, and airy citrus-floral that's an absolute steal. It's a joyful, easy-wear crowd-pleaser that punches well above its weight in the price-to-quality stakes. Perfect for a sunny disposition and a spring in your step.

Our Verdict - Musk Is Great

Musk Is Great is an absolute Marmite of a scent. Prepare for a harsh, synthetic, and metallic opening that many find repulsive, but if you can push through, the drydown offers a clean, creamy, animalic musk and sandalwood that's often described as addictive. Absolutely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bloom

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its light, fresh, and often subtle sillage makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it's unlikely to offend. The bright and clean profile also works well for sport or daytime casual events, though its softer nature might get lost in a formal evening setting.

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual

Given its extreme projection and powerful longevity, Musk Is Great is definitely not for the office; you'll overwhelm colleagues. Its sensual and somewhat animalic musk makes it better suited for dates or casual evenings. The divisive opening and strong character might be too much for formal settings, and it definitely lacks the freshness for exercise.
