Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Tourmaline

Olivier Durbano's Black Tourmaline is an absolute beast of a scent, a divisive masterpiece that some call pure art and others find challenging. Expect a dark, smoky, and utterly unique experience that definitely isn't for those who play it safe with their fragrance. You'll either adore its intensity or run a mile.

Our Verdict - Oud Al Abyadh

This one's a bold chypre that takes you back in time, full of cypress, leather, and oakmoss. It's not for the faint-hearted, boasting a strong, earthy character that's definitely old-school, but in a rather good way. A proper statement scent.
