Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Areeq Gold EDP
Prepare for a divisive experience; Al Areeq Gold is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. Some find it a smooth, luxurious suede-vanilla dream, while others detect an inescapable rubbery, artificial nightmare. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Silky Woods EDP
Silky Woods is a smooth, sophisticated vanilla that’s got the whole room talking - some rave about its luxurious depth, while a vocal minority find its leathery elements a bit too much. Definitely a try-before-you-buy situation, but a crowd-pleaser for many.
