Which Should You Buy?
Armaf Shades is a surprisingly good everyday staple that manages to be both fresh and warm. It delivers a clean, sharp, masculine barbershop vibe with a fruity twist, making it a safe choice that punches above its price point.
A divisive yet much-loved take on the original Ani, Ani X is a confident, fresh, and citrusy vanilla that many find both sophisticated and versatile. While some reviewers found it unoriginal or too sweet, many loved its unique gourmand-level freshness and impressive performance.
