Which Should You Buy?
Aziyade by Parfum d'Empire is a seriously divisive scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its spicy, fruity complexity and others recoiling from its notorious cumin note that smells like body odour. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a wonderfully complex, unique journey. For others, it's a cheap Christmas potpourri. You'll need to try it to see where you land - but be warned, opinion is sharply divided.
