Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Omnia Crystalline Eau de Toilette
This one's a head-scratcher. Once a beloved, creamy chai bomb, Omnia has been 'reformulated' into a ghost of its former self. A true tragedy for those who remember its original glory - now, it's mostly a faint, watery echo. Track down a vintage bottle if you want the real deal; otherwise, prepare for disappointment.

Our Verdict - Essencial Oud Eau de Parfum
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive 'bomb' of an oud. Those who love it, really love it, praising its powerful, unique scent and impressive staying power. Those who don't, find it overwhelming and cloying. Approach with caution and a light hand.
