Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk EDC
A divisive classic, Jovan Musk is either a clean, comforting embrace or a trip down memory lane to Johnson's Baby Shampoo. It's affordable, versatile, and unapologetically nostalgic, polarising opinions between adoration and indifference.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Majestic Substance For Women EDP
A budget reading of the legendary Jovan Musk - the same warm, slightly powdery floral musk wrapped around jasmine, neroli and bergamot. Majestic Substance lands that cosy skin-scent character but the musk reads simpler and a little flatter than the 1972 cult classic, and it stays close with similarly modest longevity.
