Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Maknoon EDP
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a beast mode oud-rose bomb that divides opinion like no other. Some find it beautiful and sophisticated, while others recoil from its sheer intensity. Definitely not a blind buy unless you like a challenging scent.

Our Verdict - Just Give Me Roses EDP
This isn't just a rose perfume; it's a statement, a 'love it or hate it' affair. Many find it a sexy, spicy, modern take on rose, a genuine alternative to the usual suspects, while others find it too synthetic or 'harsh'.
