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 - 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.

With its strong animalic accords and significant projection, this isn't for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best suited for intimate evenings, where its controversial sexual vibe can be appreciated, as it's not a scent for the faint-hearted.
