Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ruby EDP
Kajal Ruby is a divisive, punchy cherry gourmand that packs a serious room-filling wallop. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its fruity, sweet zeal and detractors finding it overwhelmingly synthetic and cloying.
Acquired
Our Verdict - After Hours EDP
After Hours offers a delicious blend of juicy fruits and creamy vanilla that seduces with its charm and versatility.
