Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a quandary. Armaf Red Sky starts with a bold, almost 'red' sweetness that mellows into a floral heart, but the intense ylang-ylang won't be for everyone. It's distinctive but could be divisive.
Ishq Forever by Hamidi is clearly a polarising scent. If you're a fan of intensely floral fragrances, you might just find something to love here, but if not, prepare for a potentially jarring experience. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with little in-between.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its initial strong sweetness and dominant floral accords make it a bit much for an office setting, but it's well-suited for dates and evening events where its rich character can shine. It's a bit too formal and heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.
Occasions
Given the strong floral nature and community feedback suggesting it can be 'harsh' or 'nauseating', this isn't subtle enough for the office or too casual for formal events. It might work for a date if your partner enjoys dominant floral scents, or for a casual outing where you want to make a statement.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Floral, Citrus, Fresh accords and Almond, Peony notes
