Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 1001 Nights EDP

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast of an Arabian oud that demands an experienced nose. If you can push past the initial 'barnyard' funk, it unfolds into something truly magnificent and utterly unique.

Our Verdict - Afshan EDP

This is a polarising beast of a soap bomb, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams 'clean' but perhaps not 'subtle'. If you adore loud, retro floral aldehydes and want to smell like an expensive bar of soap, Afshan is your champion.

Season and Occasion Fit

1001 Nights

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent projection and unique, challenging opening make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual daytime wear. It shines on a date or for a formal event, especially if you're aiming for a bold, distinctive statement, but only after it's had time to settle.

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Given its monstrous projection and longevity, Afshan is best reserved for casual wear where its intensity won't overwhelm. It's generally too strong for an office setting and won't contribute much to a romantic date, but it could surprisingly fit a formal occasion if sprayed lightly, as it evokes a classic, put-together vibe for those who appreciate it.
