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.
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its bracing, herbal complexity or recoil from the potent fennel-myrrh punch. It’s got an old-school barbershop vibe that splits opinion, but those who 'get' it rave about its unique balance of fresh and warm.
