Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Flowerbomb Rose Explosion EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it. Bold, bombastic, and definitely not for the faint of heart. If you're into a seriously spiced-up rose-oud, it’s a masterpiece. Otherwise, you might just find it overwhelmingly loud and a bit too much.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Arabian Desert EDP
A solid offering for amber-oud lovers, Arabian Desert is a well-blended, sophisticated scent. It might not be ground-breaking, but it's a classy, warm fragrance that delivers a luxurious experience for those who appreciate its specific profile.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its heavy sillage and very long-lasting nature, this scent commands attention, making it unsuitable for office wear.

Many reviewers mention it's a 'night perfume' and 'for special occasions'.
