Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Choco Musk
A divisive gourmand that swings between 'weak and barely there' and 'elevated Cocoa Puff cupcake'. If you're after a budget-friendly chocolate and vanilla hit, this is your jam, but temper expectations around its staying power and complexity.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Layla Parfum
This is a seriously under-celebrated gem from Xerjoff, offering a refined and sophisticated amber-vanilla experience. While some find it leans feminine, especially in the opening, its creamy, well-blended character makes it undeniably elegant and a proper hidden treasure.
