Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Labdanum 18 EDP
Labdanum 18 is a divisive animalic musk that's either a cosy, sophisticated baby powder bomb or a challenging, almost offensive 'petting zoo' scent. It's not for everyone, but if it works with your skin chemistry, it's an addictive and much-loved modern classic.
Statement
Our Verdict - RSX: Misk EDP
Misk is a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent - a unique, unapologetic blend of salty, waxy, and animalic notes. Some find it evocative and nostalgic, others a bit too strange, even 'burnt plastic'. It's niche, it’s bold, and it’s definitely not for everyone.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its unique and strong character, described as having 'you-can’t-sit-with-us vibes', makes it less suitable for office or sport. However, its bold projection makes it a distinctive choice for dates or casual, artistic events where it can truly shine.
