Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial Valley EDP
Imperial Valley is divisive, hailed as a masterpiece by some and a scrubber by others. This beast-mode Arab-Western fusion of fresh oud and leather needs to be tested on skin before committing, as its strength and unique profile aren't for everyone.
Acquired
