Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Qiam Gold
Al Qiam Gold is not for the faint of heart; a beast-mode, divisive leather and oud bomb that demands confidence. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions - but if you're into that dark, intense vibe, you'll adore it.

Our Verdict - Hot Drip Dubai
Hot Drip Dubai is a bold, divisive beast. This one is not for the faint-hearted or those who crave subtlety. Expect a strong reaction, whether love or hate.

Autumn

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions
