Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opulent Shaik Classic No 77

This one's a bit of a chameleon: a refined, classy Oriental that's drawing comparisons to Creed and Joop, but its performance is leaving some scratching their heads. Is it a powerhouse, or a subtle skin scent? Expect some debate, but generally a solid nod for a refined masculine aroma.

Our Verdict - Al Emir

This is a surprisingly solid and distinctive release that hits a nostalgic 90s stride. It’s not just a budget-friendly option; it's genuinely good, offering a mature, memorable scent that punches above its weight. Expect to stand out, even if it feels a touch unconventional at first.
