Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Musk
This isn't just "Musk" - it's a deep, powdery rose-sandalwood dream. Divisive opinions range from ancient talcum powder to pure masterpiece, but for those it clicks with, it's a sensual, comforting, chameleon-like scent that genuinely grows on you.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ajwa
A divisive scent, Al Haramain Ajwa is a unique beast. You'll either love its intensely clean, soapy, and powdery character, or you'll be left scratching your head. It's an acquired taste that definitely doesn't play it safe.
