Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portrait - Abstract
Afnan's Abstract is a truly unique, sophisticated beast, delivering niche quality at an unbeatable price. It's wildly divisive whether it's an Encelade clone, but everyone agrees it's a deep, rich cherry-rhubarb triumph. Prepare to be complimented and feel utterly mysterious.
Acquired
Our Verdict - L'Alliance Stellar
This one's a proper enigma. That rhubarb note is a bold move, and it sparks some love-it-or-hate-it reactions. It's got that weirdly addictive quality that keeps you sniffing, even if you can't quite make up your mind.
