Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Dreams Of Romancia
Divisive yet delightful. Some find it a beast, a bold clone with enormous projection, while others say it's too light. It's an affordable entry into Arabian perfumery with definite '90s vibes, so try before you buy but don't knock it until you've tried it.

Our Verdict - Barq
Barq is a divisive stunner; some find it a delightful, fruity amber, while others are overwhelmed by its potent, almost medicinal opening. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you love bold, exotic scents, this could be your next signature.
