Which Should You Buy?
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.
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
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Built on white floral, fresh and green - a composition that sits best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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.
