Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Guidance Eau de Parfum

Guidance is a serious love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast-mode scent that demands attention. Prepare for effusive compliments or utter revulsion - this isn't for the faint-hearted.

Our Verdict - Bayn Al Asrar Eau de Parfum

This much-hyped Arabian scent is a divisive one. While some find Bayn Al Asrar a softer, more wearable take on its inspiration, others get hospital disinfectant or sour funk. Give it time to macerate, if you dare, but sample first - this is not a safe blind buy.

Date Formal

Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it too much for most office environments, often drawing unwanted attention. However, its bold, luxurious profile is perfect for intimate dates or formal events where you want to make a statement, especially given the high compliment factor.

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

Given its moderate sillage and 'softer' character compared to its inspiration, Bayn Al Asrar leans versatile. It's suitable for office wear if applied lightly, brilliant for dates due to its sensual warmth, and equally at home in casual settings. However, it lacks the gravitas for formal events and the freshness for sport.
