Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Awraq Al Oud EDP
This is a seriously polarising scent - some love its 'clean oud' vibe, others get hit with pure granny soap. If you want to smell like an expensive bar of soap from a fancy hotel, go for it. Otherwise, sample first, unless you're into a bit of a gamble.

Our Verdict - Absolue Pour le Soir EDP
This is MFK's most divisive creation, a love-it-or-hate-it beast. Some find it a masterpiece of alluring, dirty honey, while others recoil from its intense animalic character. Not for the faint of heart, it's either pure magic or a scrubber.
