Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Maahir Black Edition
Seriously divisive - some call it a masterpiece, others pure unadulterated stink. Expect to either love this beastly, smoky leather scent or hate it with every fibre of your being. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but remarkable value for those it clicks with.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Montecristo
Montecristo is a divisive beast: an animalic, musky punch that challenges polite sensibilities. You'll either adore its raw, almost primal allure or consider it a complete olfactory assault. Not for the faint-hearted, it’s a masterpiece for those who dare.
