Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, masculine-leaning and surprisingly mature for Armaf, Marjan Red is no crowd-pleaser. Expect a confused amber-woody scent that might just remind you of your grandad's aftershave.
Aqua Palma is a holiday in a bottle, perfect for channelling those sunny, carefree vibes. Forget the haters saying it's only for beach parties; this is a versatile, playful scent with surprising depth.
