Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awraq Al Oud Eau de Parfum

This is a seriously polarising scent - some love its 'clean oud' vibe, others get hit with pure granny soap. If you want to smell like an expensive bar of soap from a fancy hotel, go for it. Otherwise, sample first, unless you're into a bit of a gamble.

Our Verdict - Declaration d'Un Soir Eau de Parfum

This is a masterpiece that should never have been discontinued. An elegant, fresh, and spicy rose for men that turns heads without shouting, though some find it a touch too floral or dated. It's often debated if it's truly masculine, but it definitely leaves an impression.
