Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Muscs Koublai Khan
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 - Afrika Olifant
This is a fiercely divisive animalic beast, celebrated by some as a profound masterpiece and reviled by others as an affront to good taste. It's a challenging wear, but rewards those brave enough to embrace its primal power.
