Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sultana EDP
Sultana is a divisive, powerhouse oriental that is either a gorgeous, sensual oud-rose or an overpowering 'old-lady' scent that demands attention. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a bold statement for those who dare.

Our Verdict - Malbec Gold EDT
This gold-standard Malbec flanker is a sweet, woody powerhouse - an affordable crowd-pleaser that dominates date nights. It's often compared to 1 Million, yet many argue it surpasses the original, offering incredible value and a distinct personality.
