Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau Rihla
This raspberry-leather powerhouse from Diptyque is either a smooth, seductive masterpiece or a cloying, intense beast, depending on who you ask. It's a divisive scent that inspires strong opinions, but those who love it, really love it for its luxurious blend and impressive performance.

Our Verdict - Velvet Cherry
Divisive, mate. You'll either get smacked with medicinal cherry or discover a gorgeous, deep cherry scent. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, so don't blind buy unless you like a bit of a gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit

Eau Rihla

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong performance and dominant leather and animalic accords, Eau Rihla leans away from casual or office wear, where it might be too overpowering. Its 'sexy' and 'seductive' nature, as well as its luxurious feel, makes it perfect for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather.

Velvet Cherry

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This isn't one for the office, mate; it's too strong and distinctive. It shines on a date or for an evening event, where its luxurious and bold character can truly make an impression. The heavy, dark accords don't scream 'casual' or 'sport', making it best suited for specific, more intimate or formal settings.
