Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lilac Love EDP

Lilac Love is a divisive, opinionated floral gourmand that splits the room: some find it a unique, powdery dream of lilac and cocoa, while others are put off by its 'old lady' vibe and synthetic sweetness. Not a safe blind buy, but a must-try for purple floral fanatics.

Our Verdict - Dirham Wardi EDP

Ard Al Zaafaran's Dirham Wardi is a divisive little number. Some reckon it's a creamy, clean, rose-praline dream, while others find it screechy, weak, and distinctly masculine. Expect a soft, feminine floral if you're lucky, or a bizarre aftershave. It's often compared to designer fragrances, but don't expect a perfect dupe; it's got its own thing going on, whether you like it or not.

Office Casual

With its moderate to strong projection and lasting power, Lilac Love is well-suited for dates and formal events, though perhaps a bit much for the office. Its cozy warmth makes it great for casual wear in cooler weather, but it's far too heavy for sport.

Its soft sillage and pleasant clean-floral nature make it suitable for office wear, provided it's not oversprayed. It’s perfect for casual outings and intimate dates due to its comforting, feminine character, but less ideal for formal events where bolder scents are often preferred. Some reviewers even appreciate it as a gym scent, highlighting its light, refreshing quality.
