Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast, and the old formulation is clearly regarded as superior. If you can get your hands on a vintage bottle, prepare for an earthy, smoky amber that demands attention.
A divisive, take-no-prisoners Arabian Nights fantasy, but if you're after a bold, Middle Eastern inspired scent with European restraint and plenty of gothic allure, this is your jam. Discontinued, but worth chasing down.

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage means it’s definitely not for the office. Its rich, sensual nature and complex profile make it perfect for a dramatic date night or a formal evening, but it's far too heavy for casual wear or sport.
