Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Rihla EDP
This raspberry-leather powerhouse from Diptyque is either a smooth, seductive masterpiece or a cloying, intense beast, depending on who you ask. It's a divisive scent that inspires strong opinions, but those who love it, really love it for its luxurious blend and impressive performance.

Our Verdict - Nawaf Zaffran EDP
This saffron-leather blend is a truly divisive scent; some find it a sublime, cosy autumn dream, while others dismiss it as a dull, cash-grab zombie. You'll either adore its creamy, edible warmth or find it utterly forgettable.
