Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Arabisque
This budget-friendly gem from Al Rehab is a divisive one. Some find it a beautifully balanced citrus and vanilla oud, a truly gorgeous hidden gem. Others are completely put off by an overwhelming musk or sweetness. Try before you commit.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Stairway to Heaven
A divisive scent for the modern palate. For some, it's an intriguing journey of incense and vanilla; for others, a chaotic mishmash. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Arabisque

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The sweet, warm, and somewhat spicy nature of Arabisque lends itself well to casual and date settings, especially in colder months. Its projection isn't overpowering, making it a decent choice for work if applied lightly, but less suitable for formal events or sport.

Stairway to Heaven

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its distinctive, complex profile with prominent incense and vanilla makes it a bit too bold for a typical office setting, but perfect for dates or evening casual wear. The warmth and spice lend themselves well to cooler weather and social gatherings, though it might be a bit much for formal occasions given its modern edge. It's certainly not suited for sport.
