Which Should You Buy?
Durrat Al Aroos is a proper head-turner, but it's a divisive one. You'll either love its musky-woody warmth with a playful fruit twist, or you'll be put off by what some call an overly synthetic edge. Performance is stellar, but test before you commit to this beast.
Divisive and distinctive, Manege Blanche lands with a thud rather than a gentle whisper. Expect an unusual metallic-woody punch that some will love and others will simply find too much.
