Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Forever
This powerhouse of a fragrance is unapologetically bold, a room-filling beast that many compare to Ombré Nomade. Not to be worn lightly, it's a statement for those who want to be noticed - and probably smelled before they walk in.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Aquila Absolute
This one's a divisive delight. Some find it a masterful blend of fruity oud and leather, while others are put off by its sweetness or perceived harshness. Definitely sample it first, because you'll either love how unique it is or find it totally not your vibe.

Occasions

Best For:
