Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Saphir Eau de Parfum

This one is a real head-scratcher. Some say it's a smooth, unique leather, others smell burning plastic or stale cigarettes. It's divisive, but fans absolutely adore its sophisticated, cheeky, and mysterious character. Definitely try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge part.

Our Verdict - Imperial Valley Eau de Parfum

Imperial Valley is divisive, hailed as a masterpiece by some and a scrubber by others. This beast-mode Arab-Western fusion of fresh oud and leather needs to be tested on skin before committing, as its strength and unique profile aren't for everyone.
