Which Should You Buy?
Al Buraq is a cult classic, cherished by those who adore a classic Middle Eastern rose-oud profile. It's potent and traditional, a love-it-or-leave-it kind of scent that demands attention.
This one is a divisive whirlwind. Some find it a fresh, green rose, others a sharp, synthetic nightmare. It's either an old-school stunner or a screechy scrubber - you won't know until you try it.
