Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Empereur
Alright, so it's another Aventus clone, but for the price? It's not half bad. Expect a bit of a synthetic punch at the start, then a quick fade-out. Decent for a budget-friendly option, but don't expect miracles.

Our Verdict - Al Sheik Rich Special Edition
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; a decent Aventus dupe if you're into that, but don't expect it to stick around all day. It's a crowd-pleaser that could do with a longevity boost.
