Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bayaan
This loud, jammy Arabic rose and oud beast is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect boldness and big sillage, but some find it too masculine or smoky; others revel in its depth and performance.

Our Verdict - Tobacco Reserve
Aramis Tobacco Reserve by Edouard Fléchier: a masterpiece that was criminally discontinued. This isn't your average tobacco scent; it's a sophisticated, warm, and subtly sweet beast that divides opinion on its sweetness but unites all in lamenting its scarcity. If you can find it, snap it up.
