Which Should You Buy?
Batoul is a divisive beast: a rich, woody-amber oil that polarises with its strong projection and distinct Middle Eastern style. You'll either love its opulent warmth and lasting presence or find it too heavy and cloying, with some even reporting a 'burnt plastic' note.
This one's a divisive affair. Some find it a nice, warm winter scent, but a significant chunk of people can't get past a rubbery opening and poor longevity. Definitely not a blind buy.
