Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kobako
This cult classic is a divisive beast: some hail it as a stunning, sensual masterpiece with vintage allure, while others recoil from its intense, 'old-school' animalic and aldehydic punch. Not for the faint of heart, but utterly captivating for those who dare.

Our Verdict - Salma
Al Haramain's Salma is a polarising, unapologetic tuberose bomb with a vintage heart. It's not for the faint of heart or those looking for a "pretty" floral, but a serious contender for tuberose lovers who appreciate a bit of skank.
