Abraaj Valour

Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, Baudelaire provokes strong reactions. Some hail it as a masterpiece of dark luxury, a complex journey through incense and leather. Others find it unoriginal, fleeting, or simply too much. Love it or hate it, Baudelaire certainly leaves an impression.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Some reckon Abraaj Valour is an absolute belter, a dead ringer for a much pricier scent, while others find it completely horrid. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
The strong, dark accords of leather, incense, and amber make it too heavy for widespread office use, though some find it suitable. Its mysterious and warm character, coupled with good longevity, makes it ideal for dates and evening formal events rather than casual or sport activities.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and potent, smoky-resinous accords, this isn't one for the office - it’d overwhelm everyone. It's much better suited for nights out or formal events where its character can shine without being stifled, though casual wear is only really for those who want to make a statement.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fresh Spicy, Woody, Amber accords and Leather, Pepper notes
