Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bizarre EDT
This 80s relic is more than just nostalgic; it's a divisive trip down memory lane! For some, it's a "stormy", "dominant and glacial" green floral with vibrant aldehydes; for others, a harsh blast of hairspray. Most agree it's unforgettable, whether for good or ill.
Statement
Our Verdict - Fortnum & Mason Taif Oud Parfum
A Roja Dove classic that feels less original thanks to its close resemblance to UAE Spirit of the Union. If you don't already own that, it's a superb rose oud with impressive performance, but it's divisive on value for money.
