Which Should You Buy?
Divisive and wildly polarising, Ellis Brooklyn's Salt is either a compelling, clean, and unique take on 'beachy' or a cloying, chemical mess. It's a risk, but sometimes risks pay off in glorious, salty, sexy ways.
Kawthar is a divisive one. Some find it a powerful, smoky oud bomb - deeply mysterious and masculine. Others detect a gentle, fleeting rose, a soft ambergris skin scent. Ultimately, it’s a gamble, but potentially a cheap thrill for the oud-curious.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its intimate sillage and clean-skin musk make it acceptable for casual office wear, though many reviewers state it becomes a subtle skin scent. The alluring, 'sex on a beach' vibe makes it perfect for dates or relaxed casual settings, while its unique, salty character could be interesting for an active day.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Given the strong, smoky oud and animalic accords, this scent leans away from office wear. It’s perfect for intimate dates or intriguing formal events where its unique character can shine, and some find it suitable for casual wear given its oil format and often moderate projection.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Animalic, Woody accords and Sandalwood, Ambergris notes
