Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cuir Cuba Intense Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously polarising scent, loved by those who crave unusual tobacco and licorice combinations, and intensely disliked by those who find it challenging and discordant. Definitely not a blind buy, but a unique masterpiece to others.

Our Verdict - Italiano Uomo Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Armaf Italiano Uomo divides opinion wildly, with some hailing its unique blend and others finding it flat-out bizarre. Blind buy at your peril, this is not a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.

Occasions

Also Works:
