Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Giorgio Armani Ikat Rouge
A richly textured blend of saffron and oud gives a sense of luxury and refinement. The fragrance has a subtlety that suits both business and personal settings.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Alioth
This isn't a shy one. Alioth is a regal, unapologetic oud-rose, polarising for its animalic depth but celebrated by those who crave a distinctive, opulent scent. It's an investment, but many find it utterly essential.
