Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Gold EDP
Black Gold is a divisive one. Some hail it as a masterpiece of complex layering and luxury, while others find it confused, bitter, or too linear. It needs time to appreciate and may not work for everyone's skin chemistry.

Our Verdict - Rose Gold EDP
This Taif rose stunner is a divisive masterpiece. Some find it regal and refined, while others are overwhelmed by its peppery intensity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.
