Which Should You Buy?
Afnan's Abstract is a truly unique, sophisticated beast, delivering niche quality at an unbeatable price. It's wildly divisive whether it's an Encelade clone, but everyone agrees it's a deep, rich cherry-rhubarb triumph. Prepare to be complimented and feel utterly mysterious.
This one's a divisive, dark amber. Some reckon it's a mysterious, sensual masterpiece with temple vibes, while others find it a cloying, dated mess. Definitely one to try before you commit, as it pushes strong opinions.
