Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lyric Woman
Lyric Woman is a divisive beast, a deep, complex rose for the seasoned palate. Some find it a gothic masterpiece, others a dusty relic, but everyone agrees it's a bold statement.

Our Verdict - Liwa
Liwa by Widian is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, fruitier, more luxurious take on popular amber-saffron heavyweights, while others find it too much or simply not living up to its desert oasis namesake. Definitely not a blind buy.
