Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Desert Star Eau de Parfum
Seriously potent and a massive compliment-puller, Desert Star by Armaf is often compared to niche scents and boasts nuclear performance. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you love a strong, distinctive woody-musky profile, this stunner delivers.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Golden Musk Eau de Parfum
This one's a smooth operator - a luxurious, clean musk that's surprisingly versatile. Not a beast, but it doesn't need to be. It whispers 'class' rather than shouts it.
