Which Should You Buy?
This is simply outstanding. Nawab of Oudh Intensivo offers an ethereal, spicy-floral experience that punches way above its weight. A true masterpiece for those after something truly regal.
This one is a classic love-it-or-hate-it Roja, a bold rose-oud with an herbal, spicy edge. Some find it a masterpiece of East-meets-West perfumery, rich and opulent. Others reckon it's a 'musty old lady' scent, overpriced and overhyped. Definitely not a safe blind buy.
