Which Should You Buy?
Liwa by Widian is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, fruitier, more luxurious take on popular amber-saffron heavyweights, while others find it too much or simply not living up to its desert oasis namesake. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, not for the faint of heart. It captures that authentic Middle Eastern bazaar vibe, but be warned: some noses find its medicinal, smoky opening a bit much. Give it a minute though, and you might just get hooked.
