Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Najdia in Gold EDP
Truth be told, the note breakdown on this one is a bit of a mystery, with the community firmly in disagreement. But one thing's clear: Najdia in Gold is a simple, pleasing fruity-musky scent, lending itself to clean and comforting vibes. Definitely leans more feminine.

Our Verdict - Black XS L'Exces for Him EDT
A divisive, pineapple-heavy flanker that split opinion. Some rave about its sweet, fresh, and dirty pineapple vibe, praising its beastly performance, while others find it too synthetic, cloying, and short-lived. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.
