Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois Talisman EDP
Prepare for a divisive experience. Bois Talisman swings between being a refined, sophisticated smoky vanilla, and a 'basic', uninspired take on a very well-trodden scent profile. It's either an elevated classic or an expensive disappointment, depending on who you ask.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Saaqi EDP
Saaqi is a divisive blend; a bold, sophisticated wine and tobacco scent that some find intoxicatingly unique while others are overwhelmed by a peppery kick. Definitely not one for a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bois Talisman

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its smoky, sweet, and woody profile makes it ideal for cooler weather and evening events, particularly dates where its sensual aura can shine. While some find it too much for the office, its moderate projection makes it a possible, albeit bold, choice for colder casual or semi-formal settings.

Saaqi

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its heavy sillage and unique, intense notes like wine and tobacco, Saaqi is best suited for evening wear and special occasions. It's too potent for the office and completely unsuitable for casual daytime activities or sport.
