Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Les Absolus d'Orient Bois Mystérieux EDP
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, polarizing opinions like few others. It's a bold, beast-mode oriental that demands confidence and can either be your signature masterpiece or just a bit too much 'body odour' for some. Definitely needs a test run before committing.

Our Verdict - Wafa EDT
If you can still find Wafa, snap it up. This under-the-radar gem is a phenomenal Black Phantom dupe, offering a rich, chocolatey patchouli experience that punches well above its price point. A true crowd-pleaser for those who love deep, sweet woody scents.
