Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Built on rose, amber and powdery - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.
Occasions
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.
