Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noctem Arabs EDP
This one is a divisive take on the warm, woody oriental. Its oud-tobacco-amber combo is loved by some for its smooth depth, but others find it too sweet or even unfinished. It’s certainly not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you like a robust, long-lasting scent, this one's a contender.
Statement
Our Verdict - Jamaican Tobacco EDP
A stalwart in niche perfumery, Jamaican Tobacco blends warm spices and deep tobacco to create a scent both bold and balanced.
