Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Perfume Calligraphy Rose Eau de Parfum
This is a seriously stunning Middle Eastern-inspired rose, deep, jammy, and swathed in rich resins. A love-it-or-hate-it affair for some, but for rose aficionados, its discontinuation was a crime.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Anubis Eau de Parfum
Anubis is a divisive, hypnotic blend of ancient ritual and dark allure - you'll either love its intensely resinous, smoky suede embrace or find it challenging and unwearable. This ain't for the faint-hearted or those seeking generic crowd-pleasers.
