Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Honey Aoud EDP
Honey Aoud is a monstrously potent honey-oud combo that's either a decadent delight or a synthetic nightmare, depending on who you ask. It’s got beast-mode performance, so one or two sprays are more than enough to announce your presence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Hypnotic Gold EDP
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Hypnotic Gold opens with a bizarre, almost plasticky sweetness that quickly morphs into something far more intriguing. It's a sweet, spicy, and smoky ride that's definitely not a safe blind buy, but worth the journey for the payoff.
