Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Amber Oud Dubai Night
This one's a wild card. Many are saying it's a fresher, spicier twist on Arabians Tonka, whilst others insist it's nothing like it - or Aventus, for that matter. Expect a bold, long-lasting scent that leans masculine but might still throw you a curveball with its nuances.

Our Verdict - Taraf Black
This budget-friendly Middle Eastern gem is surprisingly complex, offering a sweet, warm embrace that often defies its price tag. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who love a subtly oudy, saffron-tinged amber, though some find the opening a bit sharp and the blend inconsistent.
