Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pure Musc EDP
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 - Geneva EDP
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Le Labo Another 13 (2010) - ambrette, jasmine and musk translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
