Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.
Favourite
Our Verdict - AL EMBRATUR ELIXIR Eau de Parfum
If you're a fan of Invictus Victory Elixir but not its price tag, Zimaya's Al Embratur Elixir is the clone you've been waiting for. It’s got all the power and allure, perhaps even a touch more maturity for those who want that. An absolute beast for the price.
