Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk Is Great
Musk Is Great is an absolute Marmite of a scent. Prepare for a harsh, synthetic, and metallic opening that many find repulsive, but if you can push through, the drydown offers a clean, creamy, animalic musk and sandalwood that's often described as addictive. Absolutely not a safe blind buy.
