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.
A divisive, take-no-prisoners Arabian Nights fantasy, but if you're after a bold, Middle Eastern inspired scent with European restraint and plenty of gothic allure, this is your jam. Discontinued, but worth chasing down.
