Which Should You Buy?
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.
This "ballet in a bottle" is a delicate, easy-to-wear floral fruity that evokes grace and girlishness. While some find it too sweet or synthetic, many praise its charming blend and impressive longevity for an EDT. It's a darling little scent, perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its soft and inoffensive character, combined with reports of good longevity, makes it suitable for office wear without being overpowering. It's too delicate for formal events and not invigorating enough for sport, thriving best in casual or daytime situations, though it wouldn't be out of place on a romantic date due to its feminine charm.
