Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boyfriend
Boyfriend is a true love-it-or-hate-it scent: a celebrity fragrance that punches well above its weight, conjuring a deeply comforting boozy warmth. It's divisive, thanks to a pronounced myrrh note, but those who love it call it a warm, inviting embrace.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Amber Musk
A divisive amber beast that demands a light hand, Al Haramain Amber Musk delivers a regal, dark rose-oud experience for those who can handle its potent intensity. Don't overspray unless you want to gas the entire room.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boyfriend

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its rich, warm, and somewhat heavy nature makes it ideal for dates and casual evenings, creating an intimate 'scent bubble' that many appreciate. The strong sillage and prominent amber/myrrh accords might be too much for an office or formal setting, although some find it suitable for work. It's definitely not one for sport.

Amber Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'nuclear' projection and immense longevity, Amber Musk is best reserved for formal events or evening dates where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Its intensity makes it unsuitable for casual daytime wear or office settings, where a heavy application would be inappropriate.
