Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Maahir Eau de Parfum
Maahir is an absolute beast - a powerful, divisive Middle Eastern fragrance. If you want a loud, room-filling rose-oud with huge sillage, this is your horse.

Our Verdict - Black Afgano Eau de Parfum
Black Afgano is an icon for a reason, but it's not for the faint of heart. This divisive beast is either a challenging masterpiece of smoky oud and rich resins or an offensive, overpowering mess. You'll either love its dark, narcotic depths or hate its intensity. Sample before committing.
