Which Should You Buy?
Afnan's Supremacy Tapis Rouge is a divisive cherry bomb that matures into something surprisingly different. Expect a bold, fruity opening, but be prepared for a quick transition that many find intriguing, and some, a bit too synthetic.
A divisive oud for the masses that doesn't quite stick the landing for everyone. Some call it a sweet, fruity mess, while others find its delicate balance of British refinement and Middle Eastern exoticism utterly captivating. Prepare for compliments - and maybe a few confused stares.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its strong projection and bold character, especially in the opening, make it less suitable for an office setting. However, its unique and sensual fruity-spicy profile is excellent for dates and evening events, offering good longevity for extended wear.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and sometimes weak longevity make it suitable for close encounters like dates or semi-formal events, where its luxurious oud-fruit blend can be appreciated without being overpowering. The leathery, warm accords suggest it's too intense for casual daytime wear or sport and just about slips into an office setting if applied lightly.
