Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Eau de Parfum

This one's a bit of an identity crisis - called "Black" but smells vibrantly green, fresh, and citrusy. If you're looking for an affordable, inoffensive freshie, this is a solid bet, but don't expect it to last for ages. The community loves its clean, uplifting scent but bemoans its often-lacklustre performance.

Our Verdict - Pink Shimmer Secret Oud Eau de Parfum

This one's a sleeper hit! Maison Alhambra has pulled off something genuinely impressive here, delivering a surprisingly good, luxurious oud experience that rivals more expensive fragrances. Don't let the name fool you - it's a sophisticated scent with broad appeal.
