Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a controversial sniff. Some are gagging for it, others are just gagging. It's a full-on botanical assault - intense, realistic, and not for the faint of heart. Expect to either love its authentic rose and lemon blast or feel like you've eaten a flower arrangement.
This one's a divisive throwback - some find it an addictive, warm hug while others are put off by its perceived masculinity and weak performance. If you're after a spicy, musky scent that leans unisex, and you don't mind reapplying, Red Musk might just be your jam.
