Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Alamut

This is a seriously polarising scent: some call it a masterpiece, others an 'old-fashioned' mess. It's a grand, rich oriental that leans into vintage glamour, so you'll either adore its dense complexity or find it heavy and dated. Definitely not a blind buy.

Statement

Our Verdict - Al Fakhamah

A truly divisive fragrance; some find it a gorgeous, musky floral while others are overwhelmed by its soapy intensity. Not a blind buy, but worth trying if you're after something bold and distinctive.

Season and Occasion Fit

Alamut

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and potent base notes, Alamut is too intense for an office setting. However, its rich and complex profile makes it perfect for formal events and romantic evenings where a luxurious and captivating presence is desired.

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its strong projection and dominant floral-musk profile make it less suited for an office environment. However, its elegance and warmth are perfect for formal events and evening dates, though perhaps a bit much for casual daytime wear.
