Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blessed Baraka Eau de Parfum
Blessed Baraka is a divisive, intoxicating amber-musk that some find heavenly and others, pure chemical hell. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans praising its dark, sexy allure and mystique, while detractors are left recoiling from what they perceive as industrial-strength synthetics and an offensive 'rubber' or 'sick' smell. Sample first, no blind buying unless you live for drama.

Our Verdict - Gold Eau de Parfum
Commodity Gold is a seriously divisive vanilla. Some find it a luxurious, grown-up take on the classic, while others moan it's simply basic and astonishingly weak. Go in with an open mind, but keep your expectations for performance in check - it's a skin scent for many.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blessed Baraka Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Blessed Baraka's strong, dense character and sometimes imposing sillage make it ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. It truly shines for dates and evening events, where its mysterious, sexy vibe can be appreciated without overwhelming a confined space. Its warmth makes it ideal for colder weather.

Gold Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, warm vanilla profile make it ideal for casual wear and office settings where strong fragrances are unwelcome. It's too subtle for a formal occasion and obviously unsuitable for sport given its delicate nature.
