Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Imperial EDP
Imperial is a powerful, elegant scent for those who command attention. It's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone, but if you want to make a statement, this is your weapon.

Our Verdict - Faqat Lil Rijal EDP
Faqat Lil Rijal is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an unapologetic oud and leather bomb from Rasasi. If you're after a full-throttle Middle Eastern experience on a budget, and not afraid of a bit of barnyard skank, this is your ticket. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart, or nose.

Season and Occasion Fit

Imperial

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong sillage and prominent leather and woody accords, Imperial is best suited for formal occasions and dates where it can truly shine and make an impression without overpowering. Its intensity makes it less ideal for casual wear or the office.

Faqat Lil Rijal

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a serious powerhouse, often described as 'beast mode' with immense sillage and longevity, making it completely unsuitable for office wear. Its dark, heavy oud, leather, and warm spicy accords lean heavily towards evening and cooler weather occasions, perfect for making a bold statement on a date or at a formal event.
