Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Dali
This is a seriously polarising scent: some find it a sexy, boundary-pushing masterpiece, while others are put off by its intensity. It's a grand, dramatic fragrance strictly for those who dare to be different and shun anything remotely 'inoffensive'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Liwa
Liwa by Widian is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, fruitier, more luxurious take on popular amber-saffron heavyweights, while others find it too much or simply not living up to its desert oasis namesake. Definitely not a blind buy.
