Which Should You Buy?
Barq is a divisive stunner; some find it a delightful, fruity amber, while others are overwhelmed by its potent, almost medicinal opening. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you love bold, exotic scents, this could be your next signature.
Bakhour is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, clean, floral-fruity comfort, while others are utterly repulsed by what they describe as a cheap, synthetic assault. If you fancy a gamble on a super cheapie that could either be your next signature or a scrubber, this is it.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Given its strong projection and rich, warm accords, Barq is best suited for evening wear or special occasions where its opulence can shine. It's likely too intense for a typical office environment or casual daytime activities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given its potent longevity and sillage, Bakhour is probably too much for the office. It's a surprisingly good fit for casual wear, with some finding it comforting and warm, but its strong floral character might be too casual for formal events. The clean-yet-musty character makes it largely unsuitable for sport.
