Which Should You Buy?
This floral woody musk is a divisive affair. Some find it a beautifully balanced, romantic rose. Others complain it's too spicy, too woody, and just a bit odd, with some even smelling 'coke' or a 'chemical-woody composition'. It's certainly no safe blind buy.
This musky floral is a solid everyday performer if you're after something pleasant and clean. Not one to turn heads, but reliable for those days you want to smell fresh without making a statement.
