Which Should You Buy?
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.
Almas by Boadicea the Victorious is a divisive one, beloved for its opulent rose-oud core with a juicy pineapple twist, yet criticised for not bringing anything new to the table at its hefty price point. It's a statement scent, but some say you can find similar for less.
