Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Khalis Musk (Pure Musk)
This one is as divisive as they come - a true love-it-or-hate-it musk. For some, it's the epitome of clean, fresh laundry, while for others it's a screechy, synthetic mess. Blind buy with caution, but if you're after that pure, soapy musk vibe, this could be your budget champion.

Our Verdict - Musc Tonkin
This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart. Some will find it an unwearable, dated scrubber, while others will be utterly captivated by its vintage-inspired, animalic allure. Approach with caution, for its charms are not universal.
