Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Somebody Wood EDP

This woody, powdery scent is charming, albeit often divisive. Some find it a sophisticated and creamy sandalwood that's perfect for cosy moments, while others get bizarre notes of tyre shops, plastic, or even peanut butter whisky. Performance is also a real toss-up.

Favourite

Our Verdict - United Arab Emirates Parfum

An intense and luxurious fragrance evocative of the opulence of the Middle East, perfect for those who enjoy complex rich scents.
