Which Should You Buy?
Liwa by Widian is a divisive beast: some hail it as a smoother, fruitier, more luxurious take on popular amber-saffron heavyweights, while others find it too much or simply not living up to its desert oasis namesake. Definitely not a blind buy.
This is a serious crowd-pleaser, particularly among those who favour heavy florals with an opulent, woody twist. It'll make you feel regal without having to pay a king's ransom.
