Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Ispahan EDP
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.
Acquired

This one's a bold statement, no two ways about it. Expect a rich, unapologetic leather experience that screams confidence and luxury. It's a powerhouse for those who love to make an entrance.
