Which Should You Buy?
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.
A bold rose-saffron-honey combo, Gallivant's Ta'if has stirred up quite the fuss in certain circles. Is it a copy or a clever homage? That's up to you to decide, but don't knock it until you've actually smelled it.
