Which Should You Buy?
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.
Rare Oud Blend chases Dior Sauvage Rare Blend, the ultra-limited oriental-woody reinterpretation built on oud, vanilla and labdanum. It captures the deep, resinous Sauvage-gone-dark character, but renders flatter and skin-close, the dense original's richness thinned for a budget price.
