Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Raghba Wood Intense EDP
This one is a properly divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that demands patience and a thick skin. If you can get past the initial burnt sugar and 'old church' vibes, you'll be rewarded with a unique, intensely woody, and sweet Middle Eastern gem. Not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a steal.

Our Verdict - Elixir des Merveilles EDP
A divisive yet powerful autumn-winter amber, Hermès Elixir des Merveilles is for those who dare to stand out. It's unique, long-lasting, and unapologetically rich; some find it a masterful hug, others a bit much for their taste.
