Which Should You Buy?
Floriental is a surprisingly agreeable, complex plum-and-incense fragrance, if you can forgive the truly baffling performance on some. It's chic and modern, but don't expect a beast mode scent.
Karnak Temple channels Xerjoff's More Than Words, matching its incense-oud opening and fruity blackcurrant twist. It's less nuanced and shorter-lived than Xerjoff's original, with a simpler resinous drydown that doesn't hold the same monumental depth.
