Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habik For Men EDP
Lattafa's Habik is a polarising spicy bomb that punches above its weight. Some find it a strong, sophisticated, masculine scent, while others struggle with its initial harshness or chemical undertones. It needs maceration to truly shine, transforming into a smooth, warm fragrance that evokes the spirit of more expensive bottles, and will definitely get you noticed.
Favourite
Our Verdict - By EDT
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from D&G's golden era. 'By' is a total crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent dose of creamy, masculine sophistication. It's universally adored for a reason: sexy, unique, and it just works.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habik For Men

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and spicy nature, combined with moderate to strong projection, makes it less suited for a conservative office. It truly shines on a date night or formal event, where its sensual and mysterious profile can make a statement, but it can also be a versatile cooler weather casual scent. It's too heavy for sports.
