Which Should You Buy?
This is a big, bold, fruity-floral beast, adored by many for its opulent sillage and longevity. It's not for the faint of heart or the office, but if you want to make a statement, Madawi has you covered.
A budget take on Arabian Oud's Madawi, keeping the peach-apple-blossom-rose fruity-floral thread. The peach and apple blossom read sweeter and more candy-like here, the pineapple blossom heart is thinner, and the rose-patchouli base loses some of the original's warmth - so it comes across as a lighter, more youthful version of Madawi's fuller fruity-floral character.
