Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Calamity J EDP

Calamity J is a polarising beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it scent. Some find it a sophisticated, soft amber-patchouli dream, others a 'calamity' of burned wood and 'wet sauvage animal hair'. It's been discontinued, which only adds to its mystique and desirability for its fans.

Statement

Our Verdict - Ameer Al Oud Arabian Noir EDP

This isn't for the faint of heart. Ameer Al Oud Arabian Noir is a powerhouse - woody, spicy, and unapologetically bold. If you want to make an entrance, this will certainly do the trick, but it's divisive, so don't expect universal adoration.

Season and Occasion Fit

Calamity J

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Casual Formal

Its bold, assertive character and moderate sillage make it suitable for dates and evening wear, despite some finding it too weak. The rich amber and musky accords lean it away from casual daytime or office settings.

Ameer Al Oud Arabian Noir

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

Built on woody, powdery and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and woody, spicy profile, this is far too intense for an office setting or casual wear. It absolutely shines in formal or evening date scenarios where its opulent character can be appreciated.
