Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - The Jewel of Desert Extrait

This one's a bit of a gamble, mind. If you're after a lush, sweet fruit cocktail with an earthy edge, it could be your jackpot. But if patchouli rubs you up the wrong way, you might find yourself heartbroken.

Our Verdict - Musk Vanille Eau de Parfum

If you're after a sweet, soft, and remarkably similar scent to other Maison Alhambra offerings, this is a safe bet. It's pleasant but utterly unoriginal, so don't expect it to stand out from the crowd.
