Which Should You Buy?
This legendary value frag smells far more expensive than it is. A classic fruity tobacco, Cigar polarises with its initial blast, but dries down to a rich, comforting aroma that captures hearts, though its performance can be a bit hit or miss on different skin chemistries.
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.
