Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arabesque
A divisive blend that promises autumnal luxury. Some swear it's a 'masterpiece' and better than industry giants, while others dismiss it as 'sickly sweet' or a 'confused jumble'. You'll either love its creamy plum-tobacco warmth or find it utterly underwhelming.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Castelli Di Sabbia
An underrated gem that starts a bit quirky but blossoms into a smooth, warm, and inviting spicy-sweet fragrance. It's a confident, well-blended scent that proves its mettle with impressive staying power.
