Which Should You Buy?
Ajmal Aurum is a divisive beast: some say it's expensive, complex, clean, and a compliment magnet, others say it smells like cheap dryer sheets or an old lady. You'll either love this fruity white floral with a powdery musky vanilla base, or you won't.
A divisive Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe that's either a softer, office-friendly take or a screechy mess. Your mileage may vary, but don't expect a perfect clone.
