Which Should You Buy?
Taklamakan is an intriguing dry, woody amber that splits opinion. Some find it a masterpiece of warmth and sophistication, while others are underwhelmed by its perceived performance or suggest it leans too close to existing designer scents. A real Marmite fragrance, but certainly worth trying if you're into unique resinous woods.
Ultimate delivers a potent, long-lasting oud fragrance that exudes confidence and luxury, perfect for those seeking a commanding presence.

While some find its sillage intimate, its richness makes it less suitable for casual daytime wear or sport.
