Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Abraaj Enclosure Eau de Parfum
A potent, polarising scent that's either 'toothpaste in a bottle' or a 'beastmode' amber-mint masterpiece. This one needs time to mature on the shelf, otherwise it's just raw edges.
Statement
Our Verdict - Groove Xcape Parfum
Groove Xcape is a divisive beast, a genuine love-it-or-hate-it scent from Xerjoff that bucks trends. It's a proper niche experience: unique, complex, and probably not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Forget the clubbing marketing; this is an olfactory art piece.
