Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

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