Which Should You Buy?
Faqat Lil Rijal is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an unapologetic oud and leather bomb from Rasasi. If you're after a full-throttle Middle Eastern experience on a budget, and not afraid of a bit of barnyard skank, this is your ticket. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart, or nose.
This traditional Middle Eastern oil is a deep, warm, and subtly flamboyant amber-wood experience. It's a complex, long-lasting scent that's probably best understood through sampling rather than a blind buy.
