Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old-fashioned mess'. You'll either adore its complex, classic charm or find it too dated; there's no middle ground here.
Faqat Lil Rijal is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an unapologetic oud and leather bomb from Rasasi. If you're after a full-throttle Middle Eastern experience on a budget, and not afraid of a bit of barnyard skank, this is your ticket. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart, or nose.
