Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rivière EDP
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 - 125th & Bloom EDP
This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, divisive reactions, and a good few people telling you it smells like 'fancy dirt'. It's unapologetically bold, so if you're after subtle, look elsewhere.
