Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, a refined oud and rose that isn't for dabblers. It takes some getting used to the strong, almost medicinal opening, but trust us, the payoff is a beautiful, expensive-smelling dry down. Not a blind buy, but definitely a masterpiece for the oud-curious.
A powerhouse amber that's either a magnificent, opulent journey or an overpowering, spicy onslaught. Love it or hate it, its discontinuation has only amplified its legendary status and the demand for this 'holy grail' scent.
