Which Should You Buy?
A truly balanced and comforting scent, Patchouli Imperial is Armaf's understated gem. It's universally appealing and surprisingly versatile, making it a well-kept secret in the fragrance community.
Floris' Islay is a peculiar beast - a restrained, almost austere woody-green fragrance that promises Hebridean whisky but delivers a polite, old-school barbershop scent. It's a classic Floris, but don't expect drama.
