1) Best Unisex Perfume: Lattafa Sehr Lattafa

Looking to turn heads and spark curiosity with every spritz? Lattafa Sehr Lattafa EDP (100ml) is your next scent obsession—an oriental-floral knockout that’s as bold as it is balanced. It kicks off with an unexpected clash of almond and cinnamon. Following this, the heart swirls in with the edgy warmth of akigalawood, juicy pomarose, and soft jasmine. And that base? A rich, lingering blend of vanilla, tonka bean, and amber that clings. No wonder it's trending!

2) Best Perfume for Men: Aurum Essence Perfume

Men, need that splash of confidence? The Aarum Essence is your new ally.

The heart spices things up with black pepper and geranium, balanced by mineral notes that keeps it all grounded. Then comes the smooth finish, cedarwood, vetiver, musk, and amber, wrapping it all up in warm, earthy sophistication.
