Which Should You Buy?
This is a real head-turner, and frankly, far too good for its price tag. It's a bold, opulent oriental that smells expensive, albeit with some divisive notes that can put off those not ready for a statement.
Divisive, nostalgic, and a certified bargain, Makkah is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect bubblegum, incense, and a dose of artificial strawberry. Don't blind buy unless you like a bit of weird in your scent wardrobe.
