Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for the masses, Asad Bourbon aims for sophisticated sweetness but can come across as a muddled, synthetic mess. It's affordable, but you get what you pay for; a good enough dupe if you're not fussy, but don't expect miracles.
Divisive, complex, and utterly intriguing, Back to Black is either a masterpiece of dark honeyed tobacco or a baby wipes and urinal cake nightmare. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent that commands attention, for better or worse.
