Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif Extrait
A truly polarising beast, Chanel's L'Exclusif is either a masterpiece or a marketing scam, depending on who you ask. It’s certainly a richer, darker, more opulent take on the Bleu de Chanel DNA, but beware the hefty price tag and intense amber-woody core, which some find overwhelming.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dhenel Oud Hindi Oil
Dhenel Oud Hindi is Aromara's own pure Indian-style oud oil - bold, earthy and resinous, aimed at wearers who want the fuller-intensity oud style India's agarwood is known for, rather than a designer-perfume dupe.
