Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Asad Bourbon
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.

Our Verdict - Carbonara
This one's a proper Marmite scent - you'll either love its peppery, creamy vanilla heart or find it too challenging. Don't expect a spaghetti supper, but do expect a bold, complex gourmand that'll get people talking.
