Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Muscs Koublai Khan Eau de Parfum
Muscs Koublai Khan is a divisive scent, celebrated as a masterpiece by some and reviled as a foul beast by others. It's an infamous animalic that demands confidence and a thick skin. Definitely not a blind buy, unless you're a true fragrance adventurer.
Statement
Our Verdict - Aoud Leather Eau de Parfum
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.

Occasions

Best For:
Date

With its strong animalic accords and significant projection, this isn't for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best suited for intimate evenings, where its controversial sexual vibe can be appreciated, as it's not a scent for the faint-hearted.
