Which Should You Buy?
Rasasi Hawas Elixir is a powerhouse gourmand with a polarising mint-chocolate twist. Fans rave about its stellar performance and unique take on a popular scent profile, while detractors find its unique notes clashing and synthetic. It's a bold choice for those who dare.
This one's a slow burner, not an instant hit, but give El Capitán Elixir a second chance and you'll find a complex, amber-led scent that's far more interesting than first sniff suggests. A solid, unique offering from Gulf Orchid.
