Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Waseem EDP
Al Waseem is a proper shape-shifter, opening with a bold, almost feminine floral punch that miraculously dries down to an old-school barbershop scent. It's a challenging ride for some, but many reckon the dry-down is utterly worth the wait for this surprisingly complex and versatile scent.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Diorissimo (2024) EDT
Seriously polarising, with some calling it chic and others a 'nursing home' smell. This modern take on a classic is stirring up a lot of debate, particularly from loyal fans of the original. Prepare for strong opinions, good and bad.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al Waseem

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with its fresh spicy and floral accords, make it suitable for a range of occasions, adapting well to casual wear and even some office settings, despite initial strong florals. Given its unique evolution, it can surprisingly fit warmer weather casual and even date nights, though its floral opening might be too bold for formal events.

Diorissimo (2024)

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Built on white floral, fresh and green - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its fresh and clean profile makes it suitable for office and casual wear, providing an elegant but not overpowering presence. While it could work for a date or formal event, its primary character isn't overtly romantic or opulent, making it less ideal for those occasions.
