Scent profile: fresh-cut pine vs. bold leather, amber, and moss
The Pine Tar Exfoliating Body Wash delivers a classic, rugged pine scent that evokes the outdoors. It’s straightforward and earthy, ideal for mornings when you want to feel like you just stepped out of a forest.
Maverick Musk Body Wash takes a different route with a bold blend of leather, amber, and moss. It’s more complex and stands out in your routine—perfect if you like a distinctive, slightly warmer scent that lingers.

Both body washes come in a 14 oz bottle and are priced at USD 11.10 (catalog comparison price USD 15.00). You get the same volume and value, so the decision comes down to scent and exfoliation preference, not cost.
