Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Afkaar Eau de Parfum

Our Verdict - Purple Flowers Eau de Parfum

This polarizing Mancera scent is a bold, long-lasting declaration. Some find it a 'rose-patchouli atomic bomb' or a 'thick and awful' granny smell, while others adore its 'slinky, secretive' charm and 'fabulous' performance. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Casual

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection, often described as a 'nuclear beast', make it less suitable for office wear where discretion is key. The intense rose and woody-spicy accords lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though it's still wearable casually by those who prefer a statement scent.
