Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hermessence Ambre Narguile Eau de Parfum
The one that started it all. Forget the knock-offs, Hermès Ambre Narguile is the OG apple pie gourmand, a masterpiece that manages to be both rich and refined. It's often copied, but never truly equalled.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Kismet Angel Eau de Parfum
Kismet Angel is a boozy, sweet, and divisive beast. For some, it's a stunningly accurate, cost-effective dupe for a high-end rival; for others, it's an overwhelming, cheap-smelling disappointment. You’ll either love its tenacious sweetness or find yourself scrubbing it off.
