Which Should You Buy?
This budget-friendly vanilla goes down a treat if you like it sweet and easy. It's not groundbreaking and a fair few folks find it a bit basic or even odd on their skin, but mostly, it's a solid, comfy, everyday choice.
Saaqi is a divisive blend; a bold, sophisticated wine and tobacco scent that some find intoxicatingly unique while others are overwhelmed by a peppery kick. Definitely not one for a blind buy.
