Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk Candy Rose
This isn't the "Musk Candy Rose" you might expect - it leans more into a clean, soapy rose with a gentle sweetness than a full-on gourmand. It's affordable, versatile, and generally well-received for its comforting, fresh laundry vibe, though some find it a bit too linear or sharp.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Kobako
This cult classic is a divisive beast: some hail it as a stunning, sensual masterpiece with vintage allure, while others recoil from its intense, 'old-school' animalic and aldehydic punch. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for those who dare.
