Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bucephalus XV
This one's a bit of a mystery, isn't it? The notes suggest a tantalising unisex floral, but it's proving impossible to track down. A truly covetable phantom of a fragrance.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Arba Wardat
A divisive floral powerhouse, Arba Wardat is either a romantic, clean everyday floral or an overwhelming, sweet synthetic mess. People do feel strongly about it, so sniff before you splurge.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bucephalus XV

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal
Also Works:
Office

The elegant floral and amber accords suggest versatility for both formal and date settings, lending a sophisticated touch. Its fresh citrus opening would make it suitable for casual wear, though perhaps not for high-intensity sport.

Arba Wardat

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent floral-musky nature means it might be too much for a formal office setting, but it's romantic enough for dates and versatile for casual outings where you want to make an impression. The debate around its strength and sweetness makes it less suitable for sport or very buttoned-up environments.
