Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper wild card. Some reckon it's a divine, luxurious scent, a beast-mode bargain taking them straight to the desert. Others, though, smell cheap synthetics, grandma's dusty attic, or even a 'diaper'. Love it or loathe it, it's definitely not for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Ta'if Eau de Parfum

A bold rose-saffron-honey combo, Gallivant's Ta'if has stirred up quite the fuss in certain circles. Is it a copy or a clever homage? That's up to you to decide, but don't knock it until you've actually smelled it.

Season and Occasion Fit

Sheikh Al Shuyukh Luxe Edition Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Its exceptional longevity and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, as it's prone to cloying. The dense, warm, and sweet accords are ideal for dates and evening formal events, but it's too heavy for casual daytime wear unless it's very cold.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its prominent rose, warm spicy, and amber accords make it a bit much for the office or sport. However, its bold and luxurious character is perfectly suited for date nights and formal events, commanding attention without being overwhelming.
