Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musc Eau de Parfum
Molinard Musc is a divisive one, but those who love it, *really* love it. Forget clean musks; this is a full-bodied, balsamic, hippie dream that evokes head shops and incense with an undeniable potency. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Patchouli Magique Eau de Parfum
This is a proper love-it-or-hate-it patchouli bomb that punches way above its price point. It's not a '60s hippie patch, but a sophisticated, woody, and earthy take that some find divine and others, well, a bit too much.
