Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Moscow Mule EDP
Moscow Mule starts with a zesty, true-to-life citrus hit that sadly dissipates far too quickly. It's divisive - some get a refreshing cocktail, others a chemical cleaner, but nearly everyone agrees on the frustratingly poor longevity.

Our Verdict - Moscow Zest EDP
A budget take on Juliette Has A Gun's Moscow Mule. Moscow Zest nails the zesty ginger-and-lime citrus fizz and the clean skin-musk drydown, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sharper and the warm woody-musk base thins out faster than the original's eight-to-nine-hour wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Moscow Mule

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, light and clean profile makes it perfect for casual outings and sport. Due to its very poor longevity and mild projection mentioned in reviews, it's safe for the office but perhaps too fleeting for formal events or longer dates.

Moscow Zest

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The zesty ginger-lime citrus over clean musk is bright and breezy, made for warm spring and summer days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal Sport

Clean and unisex, it suits casual days, the office and the gym more than formal evening wear.
