Which Should You Buy?
Seriously divisive. Some adore this bold, spicy, jammy rose, hailing it as Kayali's best. Others unfortunately find it cloying, synthetic, or smelling like an "old lady". Definitely not a safe blind buy.
Madinah is an absolute steal for a fresh, clean, and elegant rose, though some find it a bit too subtle or artificial. If you can get past a potentially synthetic opening, you'll be rewarded with a long-lasting, beautifully blended scent that punches far above its price point.
