Which Should You Buy?
This isn't your grandma's floral. Tulip by Al-Rehab is a surprisingly divisive green-fruity floral with an odd banana note that some find fun, others utterly baffling. It's affordable, fresh, and a bit quirky, making it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a surprisingly playful edge.
Byredo Bal d'Afrique is a modern unisex fragrance with a fresh and green profile, perfect for spring and summer wear.
