Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dar Al Hae New Eau de Parfum

A surprisingly versatile crowd-pleaser that delivers sweet, zesty good vibes on a budget. Don't expect beast-mode performance, but do look forward to a lovely, uplifting wear that many compare to a "pink lemonade" or "key lime pie" as it matures.

Our Verdict - Monsieur Eau de Parfum

Monsieur is a powerhouse patchouli bomb - rugged, refined, and unapologetically masculine. It's a divisive beast, challenging in its opening but rewarding those after a deep, dark, and sophisticated scent. Not for the faint of heart, it's a 'love it or hate it' affair that commands attention.

It receives high marks for casual daywear due to its bright, inviting character.
