Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent: some call it a masterpiece, others an 'old-fashioned' mess. It's a grand, rich oriental that leans into vintage glamour, so you'll either adore its dense complexity or find it heavy and dated. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one's a dense, unapologetically sweet Middle Eastern oud, and it clearly aims to stand out from the Western crowd. If you're looking for subtle, keep moving. Potent and unique, it's a love-it-or-hate-it affair.
