Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Caftan EDP
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.

Our Verdict - Mercedes Benz Club Black EDP
This one's a bit of a head-scratcher. Despite the name, many reckon it's a step backwards from the original EDT, feeling watered down and less distinct. If you're after a pure vanilla hit, it might do the trick, but don't expect a groundbreaking experience or a richer version of the classic.
