Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Nashama Eau de Parfum
A divisive plum-spiced sensation from Lattafa, Al Nashama is either a jammy, sophisticated masterpiece or a jarringly artificial mess. Those who love it, really love it, particularly after some maceration unleashes its full, sweet potential.
Acquired
Our Verdict - de Velours Eau de Toilette
A truly gorgeous, plush fruity leather that's all about quiet luxury and understated power. It's universally loved and tragically discontinued, making it a cult favourite for a reason.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al Nashama Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its strong projection and rich, sweet-spicy character make it a bit much for a formal office environment, but it's perfect for dates and evening events where its alluring warmth can shine. Some find it versatile enough for daily casual wear, especially later in the drydown, but it leans too bold for most sports activities.

de Velours Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its moderate projection and sophisticated leather-plum-rose profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, leaving an impression without overwhelming. The lack of fresh notes and its rich, warm character make it entirely unsuitable for sport.
