Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hawa Oil
Skip this one if you're not into old-school vibes. While some laud its longevity, for others, Hawa Oil is just too much, delivering a punchy retro floral that divides opinion sharply.

Our Verdict - Alma Nera
A boozy, vanilla delight that's perfect for a night out. It's a sweet, woody embrace that'll have you feeling luxurious and a bit edgy. Definitely a crowd-pleaser for those who love a warm, rich scent.
