Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet adored, Scandalous is a fleeting fruity-gourmand that sparks fierce loyalty in some and disappointment in others regarding its performance. Reformulation rumours aside, its syrupy charm leaves a memorable impression.
Athoor Al Alam's Malikat al Sahra is a straight-up cherry bomb from start to finish, a bold sweet treat that unapologetically announces its presence. If you're after a sophisticated fruit dessert, this is your jam.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its sweet, fruity-gourmand nature makes it perfect for casual outings and dates, where its intoxicating sillage can shine without being overpowering. The inconsistent longevity across reviews makes it less reliable for formal events or the office, where subtlety and lasting power are often key.

Occasions
Its potent sweetness and strong sillage make it a bit much for a formal office setting, but it's an absolute winner for dates or casual nights out where you want to make an impression. The gourmand cherry-vanilla profile also leans more towards playful social events rather than serious business.
