Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bijou Zafran
Bijou Zafran is a surprisingly complex, universally adored scent that manages to be both airy and warm. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser, delivering sophistication and comforting elegance without being cloying or overbearing. Ignore the comparisons; this one stands on its own.

Our Verdict - Nawaf Zaffran
This saffron-leather blend is a truly divisive scent; some find it a sublime, cosy autumn dream, while others dismiss it as a dull, cash-grab zombie. You'll either adore its creamy, edible warmth or find it utterly forgettable.
