Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose Essentielle EDP
This is a powdery, effortlessly elegant rose that divides opinion. Some find it beautiful and soft, others a dated headache. It's sadly discontinued, causing much wailing and gnashing of teeth among its devotees.

Our Verdict - Attar Al Sheila EDP
This one's a real shapeshifter, leaning into an intriguing mix of fresh florals and a soft, powdery leather base. It’s got that signature Middle Eastern mystique without being heavy-handed, making it surprisingly versatile and a bit of a pleasant curveball for many. Definitely a crowd-pleaser for those who like a floral with a twist.
