Which Should You Buy?
This is a bold, divisive, beast of a musk. Some find it a treasure; others, an overwhelming spice bomb. If you're after true animalic musk, this could be your holy grail - but sample first, because it's certainly not for the faint of heart.
This one is a divisive little number. Some reckon it's a cheap, generic mess with phantom notes; others swear it's a delightful, compliment-getting chocolate-musk dream. The truth, as ever, is probably somewhere in the middle.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its immense sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for an office or sports setting, as it can overwhelm. The deep, sensual musky and spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, especially in cooler weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its warm, gourmand-ish profile makes it a good fit for casual wear and dates, as reviews suggest a subtle sexiness. However, its often-criticised poor longevity and sillage hold it back from formal events and an office setting, where it might not project enough. It's definitely not for sport.
