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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Smoke Show EDP
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't a smoke bomb. It's a sophisticated, airy leather and rose blend, refined enough for any occasion, if you can get it to last more than an hour or two.
