Which Should You Buy?
Abu Dhabi is a divisive Middle Eastern gourmand that some swear by as a compliment magnet and others simply call "yuck." It's not for everyone, with its rich, sweet, and occasionally smoky profile, but it definitely sparks conversation.
This isn't just a perfume, it's a boozy, spiced journey that evolves from a sweet cherry opening to a deep, leathery dry down. While some find it a masterful cocktail recreation, others pick up on a divisive chemical note or overwhelming clove. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a boozy, high quality steal that's perfect for intimate encounters.
