Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Safari Elixir

This one is a properly divisive beast. Some will find it a rich, boozy gourmand; others, decidedly not. You absolutely have to give this a proper skin test, right through the dry-down, before committing.

Acquired

Our Verdict - Najma Nova

This loud, potent sweet bomb from Risala goes big on fruit and gourmand notes. It's a crowd-pleasing, surprisingly affordable take on popular Middle Eastern fragrance profiles, if a tad too feminine for some chaps.
