Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Tulip
This isn't your grandma's floral. Tulip by Al-Rehab is a surprisingly divisive green-fruity floral with an odd banana note that some find fun, others utterly baffling. It's affordable, fresh, and a bit quirky, making it a love-it-or-hate-it scent with a surprisingly playful edge.

Our Verdict - Mombasa
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Byredo Bal d'Afrique (2009) - bergamot, marigold and vetiver translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Also Works:
Office
Its fresh, clean, and green profile makes it suitable for casual outings and even office wear, provided it's applied lightly due to its initial strength. The unusual banana note and lack of traditional elegance make it less ideal for formal settings, while its refreshing qualities lend themselves well to active casual use.
