Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Milk Musk Eau de Parfum
Molton Brown's Milk Musk EDP is a deeply divisive scent. Some find it a 'hug in a bottle' - a cosy, milky, sweet delight - others get pencil shavings, spicy shower gel, or even medicinal notes. Not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, it's a unique and intimate comfort.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Escapade Gourmande Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper sweet shop bomb - sugary vanilla with a hint of burnt caramel, it's either a tooth-achingly delicious dream or a one-way ticket to play-doh city. Divisive but adored by gourmand lovers, if you can get past the price and potential "cat pee", you're in for a treat.

Season and Occasion Fit

Milk Musk Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its comforting, intimate character and moderate sillage make it ideal for casual wear and dates. While its softness could suit an office, some find its unique character too distinctive for formal settings where wider appeal is often desired.

Escapade Gourmande Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its intensely sweet and sometimes potent sillage makes it less suitable for an office, but it's a stellar choice for casual wear given its comforting gourmand profile. For dates, its sensual and delicious nature makes it quite appealing, though it might be a bit too sweet for very formal events. It's clearly not designed for sport.
