Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Raghba Classic Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper Eastern charmer: a potent, grown-up fragrance that ditches the original Raghba's gourmand sweetness for something more nuanced and, frankly, a bit more exciting. It's a genuine bang-for-your-buck gem, delivering serious niche quality without the eye-watering price tag.

Our Verdict - Xplicit Vanilla Eau de Parfum
This is Mancera's unapologetic stab at the 'dark vanilla' trend, serving up a potent blend that some call the best of its kind. It's a divisive one, though - fans adore its deep, grown-up sweetness, while detractors find it synthetic, heavy on the oud, or simply nothing new.
