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 one's a beast: a divisive, potent brew of rose, patchouli and leather that demands attention. You'll either adore its bold complexity or find it far too much. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but a serious statement if you can pull it off.
