    What do reviewers say about Dark Temptation and Asad Bourbon?

    It smells expensive. Not "almost convincing", actually expensive. The chocolate-vanilla combo has no business being this smooth at this price point, but here we are.Dark Temptation
    Asad Bourbon earns its name by going heavy on the chocolate from the heart onward. If you want a Lattafa that actually smells expensive, this is a strong contender.Asad Bourbon
