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.
This powerhouse of a fragrance is a polarising beast. Some rave about its unique leathery depth, while others are put off by a challenging opening. It demands attention and isn't for the faint of heart, but those who appreciate its complexity consider it a masterpiece.

Season and Occasion Fit
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its immense longevity and strong sillage make it less suited for an office setting where subtlety is key. However, its sophisticated and bold leather-vanilla profile shines for formal events and dates, standing out without being overpowering in the right context.
