Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Lattafa 24 Carat Pure Gold is an unashamedly bold, challenging oud-leather beast that promises a riot of scent. If you're into strong, unapologetic Middle Eastern vibes, it's a winner, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.
Alexandria III is a deeply polarising oud-rose that improves on its predecessor for some, while others view it as a total misstep. Expect a loud, luxurious scent that demands attention - just be sure you actually like it first.
