Which Should You Buy?
Voleur de Roses is a divisive beast: an earthy, gothic take on rose and patchouli that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it a damp, mouldy mess. It's a proper love-it-or-hate-it scent with a uniquely dark charm that's certainly not for the faint of heart.
This isn't just a clone; Faris Aswad carves its own path. Expect compliments and a genuinely intriguing wear, a crowd-pleaser that delivers on both familiarity and unique depth.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, earthy rose and patchouli character, combined with reports of moderate to good longevity, make it a bit much for the office. However, its dark and sensual nature means it truly shines as a date night or formal evening scent. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling a bit edgy, but sport is a definite no-go.
Seasons
Occasions
Its potent projection and rich, woody-spicy accords make it a standout for evenings out and special occasions. While versatile enough for daily wear, it might be a bit much for a formal office setting unless applied sparingly.
