Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ilio EDT
Ilio is a divisive holiday romance: a fleeting summer fling with beautiful memories that evaporates all too quickly. If you can justify the price for its brief magic, you'll love this carefree gem. Otherwise, you might feel short-changed.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ahlam EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined floral oud that showcases the best of Eastern and Western perfumery. It's a complex, sophisticated scent that's loved by many, even those who usually dislike oud or rose.

Season and Occasion Fit

Ilio

Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its intimate sillage and clean, airy profile make Ilio perfectly suited for office wear and casual outings where subtlety is key. While some find it romantic, its poor longevity and fresh shampoo-like nature limit its suitability for formal events, but it's great for light sport.

Ahlam

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This perfume's moderate to strong sillage and luxurious, complex floral-oud character make it ideal for formal events and romantic evenings. Its refined nature allows for some casual wear, but it's a bit too opulent for active sports or a quiet office environment.
