Which Should You Buy?
Carmine takes on Born to Stand Out's Drunk Saffron statement scent - saffron and pink pepper up top, leather and oud through the heart. The leather here reads more synthetic and less supple than the original's, and the amber-tonka base wraps up faster, losing some of the smoky longevity that made the original notable.
Sanad is a standout fragrance from Gissah, offering a complex spicy-resinous experience perfect for cool weather wear.
