Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - United Arab Emirates Spirit Of The Union EDP
If money's no object, and you're after a superlative Oudh-Rose combo, this masterpiece delivers. Pricey, yes, but for many, it's worth every last penny for a ride to Dubai via your soul.

Our Verdict - United Arab Emirates Extrait
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.
