Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Stellar Musk
A fresh, musky stunner that's got the internet in a spin, Khadlaj Stellar Musk delivers brightness and depth without breaking the bank. Just watch out for that polarising powdery opening, and don't expect it to last all day unless you're lucky.

Our Verdict - Bavaria The Gemstone Lapurd
This is a seriously impressive budget scent that punches well above its weight. Forget the price tag; this delivers luxury citrus and spice with exceptional performance, though you might want to save it for when you're not stuck in a quiet office.

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, musky profile makes it versatile for casual and active wear, especially given its moderate projection. While generally office-friendly due to its clean character, the varied performance reports mean it might not last a full workday for everyone. It's less suited for formal events where something with more gravitas is typically preferred.
