Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bāb as-Salām EDT
If a fragrance could meditate, this would be it. A proper chill, introspective scent that demands a bit of quiet contemplation. It's not for everyone, but if you like a bit of gravitas with your rose and oud, you'll be well chuffed.

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its sophisticated and somewhat reserved nature makes it suitable for formal settings and intimate dates. While it leans towards being an evening scent, its calming character prevents it from being entirely out of place in a professional environment, as long as applied lightly. It's too rich and complex for casual daytime wear or anything active.
