Which Should You Buy?
If you're on the hunt for a crowd-pleasing gourmand that delivers serious bang for your buck, Elixir of Dubai is a fantastic blind buy. It’s got that trending vanilla sweetness without being sickly. Absolutely smashing for the price.
This is a serious, opulent gourmand for those who appreciate a rich, complex scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with some finding it perfectly balanced and others put off by a persistent 'urinal cake' incense note up close. Definitely sample before committing.
