Which Should You Buy?
Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.
This one's a divisive clone, with some smelling genius and others a vomitous mess. If you're after a loud fruity-oud, proceed with caution and maybe a blind sniff first.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Habdan's warm, spicy, and woody accords, combined with its strong projection and longevity, make it ideal for cooler weather and evening wear. While potent, it's considered office-safe with light sprays owing to its smooth, non-offensive character, and its refined nature makes it perfect for formal settings and dates.
Seasons
Built on amber, fruity and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in spring, autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and unique fruity-oud character make it too distracting for the office but perfect for evening dates or special formal occasions where making a statement is key. Casual wear is possible if applied lightly, given its strong presence.
