Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Almaz EDP
If you are after a loud, juicy, sweet fruit bomb that just makes you happy, Almaz is it. However, be warned: this powerhouse can be polarising, with some finding it sickly sweet and others loving its unique tropical vibe.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Almaz Essence EDP
A juicy, berry-sweet reading of Kajal Almaz - tart blackcurrant and raspberry melting into brown sugar, vanilla and musk. Perfume Parlour pushes the candied sweetness up while the original's polished citrus-floral lift and strong projection are dialled back.
