Which Should You Buy?
A luxurious blend dominated by oud and resins, Black Royal Elixir is captivating and rich, making it ideal for evenings and special occasions.
Nightfall Patchouli is a captivating, sweet and spicy crowd-pleaser, but a 'patchouli' perfume it ain't. It's a gorgeous scent but divisive on whether it lives up to its name or its hefty price tag. Go for the dupe if you're on a budget.
