Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Noir Patchouli Eau de Parfum
Noir Patchouli is a divisive beast: some find it a sophisticated, vintage-inspired patchouli dream, while others are baffled by its lack of actual patchouli and its overwhelming 'old lady rose soap' vibe. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Faqat Lil Rijal Eau de Parfum
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.
