Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Yellow Air EDP
A budget take on Ex Nihilo Amber Sky. The spicy coriander-nutmeg opening and rich creamy-amber drydown capture the original's cozy, dark-amber warmth, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the textured, incensed depth of the niche original is softened.
Statement
Our Verdict - Opulent Shaik Gold Edition EDP
A luxurious and opulent scent that shines in cooler weather, Opulent Shaik Gold Edition melds spicy and woody notes into a captivating blend.
