Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Saffron Eau de Parfum
This one's a bit of a curveball. Oud Saffron is a serious contender for a statement fragrance, but its beast-mode performance means you'll either love it or clear the room. Definitely not for the shy.
Statement
Our Verdict - Perfume Calligraphy Rose Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously stunning Middle Eastern-inspired rose, deep, jammy, and swathed in rich resins. A love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but for rose aficionados, its discontinuation was a crime.
