Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Acqua di Gioia Intense
A divisive freshie that promises zing but sometimes delivers a generic sweetness. Some love the vibrant citrus and lasting power, others find it too loud, headache-inducing, or just plain boring. Best sampled before a full bottle commitment.

Our Verdict - Hareem Al Sultan Blue
Hareem Al Sultan Blue is a wonderfully divisive, sweet-tangy fragrance. Embrace the candied lemon and white floral punch, because it definitely punches hard and lasts ages. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, but for those who love it, boy, do they love it.

However, a significant number of reviews highlight its strong projection and potential for being 'loud' or 'migraine-inducing', which lowers its all-around office suitability and relegates it from formal occasions.
