Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cafe
Cafe is a divisive little number. Some adore its vintage spice as a lighter, more wearable Opium twin, while others find it a cheap, fleeting disappointment. Approach with caution and an open mind.
Statement
Our Verdict - Shaheen
A fresh, peppery rose with a solid woody base, Shaheen is one to watch. It's got layers without being overwhelming, offering a bit of sophistication for everyday wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cafe

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its warm, spicy character and a notable sillage make it better suited for evening or leisure wear rather than a quiet office. While some find it light enough for summer, the consensus leans towards cooler weather, making it versatile for casual outings but perhaps too bold for every formal event.

Shaheen

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its blend of fresh, spicy, and woody notes makes it versatile but leans more towards casual and office settings, as it’s present without being overly assertive. The rose and pepper give it enough character for a date, but it might be a bit too relaxed for highly formal events.
