Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Varakh Gold Eau de Parfum
A dark, creamy, and undeniably masculine oud-dominant scent that offers amazing value, even if it might not break new ground. You'll either adore its rich, woody spice or find its strength a bit much to handle.

Our Verdict - Dubai Gold Eau de Parfum
This is a grown-up fragrance, commanding attention with its unique, boozy-woody character. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but if you're after something bold and luxurious, Dubai Gold delivers, especially if you can snag it at a decent price.
