Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Qaa'ed Intense Eau de Parfum
This one's a serious crowd-pleaser, delivering a luxurious, grown-up vibe that punches well above its price point. It's a sweet, spicy powerhouse, though some say it takes a bit of 'maturation' to truly shine. If you're after a sophisticated scent that gets noticed, this is your winner.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Frustration Eau de Parfum
État Libre d'Orange Frustration genuinely lives up to its name, proving to be a polarising blend. While some find it a cosy, deeply satisfying gourmand with an addictive nutty vanilla, others are utterly repelled by its intensity, likening it to rancid butter, peanut butter, or even burning tyres. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, so definitely sample.
