Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Factory Edition: Rich Santal
This is *the* Santal 33 clone everyone talks about, and for good reason. It nails the niche, expensive smell at a fraction of the price, though some hardcore fans might spot the subtle differences. It's a divisive scent, so skip the blind buy.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Esraa
Rasasi Esraa is a divisive beast: some hail it as a hidden gem, an intoxicating oriental masterpiece that oozes sophistication, while others find its unique blend too challenging, even medicinal. Definitely not for everyone, but those who love it, really love it.
