Which Should You Buy?
Angham by Lattafa is a love-it-or-hate-it scent for some, with contentious lavender notes, but for vanilla lovers, it's often a blind buy success. Best when macerated, it blooms into a creamy, comforting everyday winner that smells far more expensive than it is.
This one's a slow burner, not an instant hit, but give El Capitán Elixir a second chance and you'll find a complex, amber-led scent that's far more interesting than first sniff suggests. A solid, unique offering from Gulf Orchid.
