Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Awsaaf EDP
This budget Lattafa is a surprising gem. Despite claims it clones everything from Spicebomb Extreme to Grand Soir, it truly does its own thing. Expect a delicious, sweet, spicy, and resinous blend that punches well above its price point.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Bois d'Armenie EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined benzoin-incense masterpiece that Guerlain inexplicably chopped. Bois d'Armenie is a sophisticated, comforting scent that everyone seems to be scrambling to get their hands on before it's gone for good.
