Which Should You Buy?
Muse is a divisive beast: some hail it as a unique, sexy powerhouse, a 'plum wine' with incredible longevity; others find it overwhelmingly sweet, headache-inducing, and reminiscent of Lush. It's certainly not a safe blind buy, so sample before you splurge.
This one is a real head-turner, divisive but magnetic. Love it or hate it, Ishq commands attention with its potent blend of fruit and spice, often drawing comparisons to BR540 but with its own unique, powdery, fruity punch.
