Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rivière
Thameen's Rivière is a sophisticated, well-balanced rose-leather scent that some find utterly divine, while others struggle with its performance or detect off-putting sweetness. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who adore smooth, elegant takes on classic Middle Eastern profiles.

Our Verdict - Alioth
This isn't a shy one. Alioth is a regal, unapologetic oud-rose, polarising for its animalic depth but celebrated by those who crave a distinctive, opulent scent. It's an investment, but many find it utterly essential.
