Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Musc Eau de Parfum
This one is pure marmite - some find its clean musk ethereal and comforting, others find it shockingly unpleasant or just plain dull. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite the 'clean girl' hype.

Our Verdict - White Musk Eau de Parfum
It’s cheap for a reason: Jovan White Musk is a divisive scent, some hail it as a comforting, clean classic, others dismiss it as an old-fashioned room spray. Not a safe blind-buy despite the low price. If you want a soft, powdery musk to layer, this might be your jam. If not, it could be a hard pass.
