Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Stella EDP
A modern classic that’s been cruelly discontinued, Stella is mourned by many as the ultimate rose. It's a fresh, elegant rose that manages to be both timeless and contemporary, though some find its performance fleeting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Mubakhar EDP
This one's a proper Arabian rose and amber powerhouse that divides opinion. Some love the authentic, smoky oud and opulent florals, while others find the opening a bit too much. Give it time to settle; it gets softer and more elegant on the skin, a true statement scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Stella

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its elegant and soft projection makes it suitable for office wear, though some find a lack of longevity needing reapplication. The romantic rose heart and warm amber base lend themselves perfectly to date nights, while its overall gentle nature can work for casual wear too. It might be too understated for grand formal events and definitely too delicate for sport.

Mubakhar

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Built on rose, amber and powdery - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong rose, amber, and oud accords, Mubakhar is best suited for formal events and dates, particularly in the evening. It might be too intense for casual wear or the office, as the initial oud can be quite potent.
