Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - City Of Stars Eau de Parfum
This is a sunny, beachy citrus with a sophisticated, powdery floral backbone. Love or hate the 'sunscreen vibe', it's a divisive but undeniably unique summer scent that captures the essence of a Californian sunset.

Our Verdict - Musk Al Sabaya Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously under-the-radar gem, defying expectations for its price point. It's a gorgeous floral-musky scent that punches well above its weight in performance and allure. A genuine crowd-pleaser that reviewers adore, despite initial brand skepticism.
