Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sara
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions - some find it beautiful and feminine, while others reckon it's a chemical disaster. No middle ground here, so dabble with caution.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ishq Forever
Ishq Forever by Hamidi is clearly a polarising scent. If you're a fan of intensely floral fragrances, you might just find something to love here, but if not, prepare for a potentially jarring experience. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little in-between.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sara

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

The strong, potentially long-lasting scent, as noted by some, might be too much for a confined office space. Its sweet and floral nature makes it well-suited for dates or casual outings where its distinct character can shine without overwhelming.

Ishq Forever

Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date

Given the strong floral nature and community feedback suggesting it can be 'harsh' or 'nauseating', this isn't subtle enough for the office or too casual for formal events. It might work for a date if your partner enjoys dominant floral scents, or for a casual outing where you want to make a statement.
