Favourite
Our Verdict - Santal Musk 34 EDP
A budget version of Kayali's Freedom Musk Santal 34. The clean, velvety musk-and-sandalwood signature - white florals over creamy amber - comes through, and since Kayali scents are famously soft and modest-lasting, this dupe sits close in character, just a shade simpler in the drydown.
