Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Apparition
A divisive raspberry liqueur bomb that smells much pricier than it is. Some find it a bit much, others adore its unique, sweet-and-spicy character, but everyone agrees it's strong and lasting. It’s got a cult following for a reason.
Statement
Our Verdict - Bakhour
Bakhour is a divisive beast: some find it a delightful, clean, floral-fruity comfort, while others are utterly repulsed by what they describe as a cheap, synthetic assault. If you fancy a gamble on a super cheapie that could either be your next signature or a scrubber, this is it.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Given its potent longevity and sillage, Bakhour is probably too much for the office. It's a surprisingly good fit for casual wear, with some finding it comforting and warm, but its strong floral character might be too casual for formal events. The clean-yet-musty character makes it largely unsuitable for sport.
