Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dubai Gold
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Patchouli d'Atlas
A modern, bold take on patchouli with a distinctly Middle Eastern vibe. Divisive in its execution, but a masterpiece for cardamom and saffron fans who crave powerful projection and longevity.
