Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk 12 EDP
This is a clean-girl staple for those who want to smell subtly pristine, but don't expect it to turn heads from across the room. It’s a beautifully blended skin scent, perfect for personal enjoyment, though its fleeting performance is a constant source of community angst.

Our Verdict - Softly Jil Sander EDT
This clean, musky floral is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a serene, soft embrace, others get little more than soured laundry. If you’re into understated 'freshly washed' scents, it might be your jam - otherwise, you might find it a bit sterile.

Season and Occasion Fit

Musk 12

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, inoffensive musky and floral accords, combined with its notoriously weak projection and longevity, make it ideal for office or casual wear where a subtle presence is preferred. It's often highlighted as a 'bedtime' or 'fresh out of the shower' scent, further cementing its low-key suitability.

Softly Jil Sander

Seasons

Best For:
Spring

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its soft projection and clean, unobtrusive nature make it ideal for office and casual settings where you want to smell good without shouting about it. However, the lack of depth and moderate longevity mean it won't stand up for formal events or romantic dates where a stronger impact is desired.
