Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Muse EDP
Muse is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, sexy powerhouse, a 'plum wine' with incredible longevity; others find it overwhelmingly sweet, headache-inducing, and reminiscent of Lush. It's certainly not a safe blind buy, so sample before you splurge.

Our Verdict - Arsenic Osman Extreme Extrait
This osmanthus-led beast is either a divisive makeup bag accord or a multi-faceted, fruity-floral dream; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Definitely one to try before you buy, but don't expect it to be a quiet one.

Season and Occasion Fit

Muse

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'beast mode' performance, potent sweetness, and strong projection, Muse is far too intense for office or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for dressier evening events or romantic encounters where its bold, sensual character can be appreciated without overwhelming a room.

Arsenic Osman Extreme

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its 'Extreme' designation, strong sillage, and polarizing nature, this is unsuitable for the office. Its bold, multifaceted character and reported longevity make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while being a bit much for casual wear.
