Which Should You Buy?
Balkis is a head-turning, divisive powerhouse. You'll either love its bold, vintage floral sweetness or find it completely overwhelming. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you want to make an entrance, this is it.
This is a divisive one. You'll either get fresh, delicate honeyed florals with a clean-girl aesthetic, or a synthetic, cheap, headache inducing mess that might just smell like public bathroom soap. Expectations are key here - it's a hair perfume, not a potent EDP.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, clean, and subtle nature makes it perfect for casual wear, the office, and post-sport refreshment. It lacks the sillage and complexity for formal events, and while pleasant for a date, it's not a showstopper.
