Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Roi d'Orient
This amber-spicy number is a bit of a chameleon: some find it a sophisticated, long-lasting gem, while others are disappointed by its fleeting nature and synthetic edge. It definitely leans masculine for many, but women who like a bit of a gender-bend will love its dark, musky depth.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Abraaj Memento
This one's a bit of an acquired taste - complex, earthy, and not for everyone. Expect a unique, earthy spice that leans into niche territory, divisive but certainly interesting.
