Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Il Padrino EDP
This one's a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent that's often compared to some big hitters. Many find it a rich, boozy-fruity masterpiece with beast-mode performance, while others find the drydown cheap, synthetic or just too much. Definitely sample first, as this isn't for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Faris Al Arab EDP
This is a bold, amber powerhouse that's dividing opinion. Some say it's luxurious and sensuous, others find it sickly sweet and cloying. If you can wear it, it's a steal, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
