Which Should You Buy?
Shahrazad is a warm, woody-vanilla that's often compared to Lattafa's Raghba. It's a cosy, resinous oriental that's perfect for chilly evenings inside, offering decent performance and great value despite some mixed reviews on its longevity.
A smooth, classy leather-vanilla blend that's almost universally loved for its refined scent, but bitterly divisive when it comes to performance. If you want subtle elegance, you'll adore it; if you want a powerhouse, you'll be seriously disappointed by its fleeting nature.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, resinous nature and moderate projection make it more suitable for evening and cooler weather occasions. While some consider it a good performer, it's generally not loud enough to offend in an office but shines brightest on dates or casual outings.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
The sophisticated leather, vanilla, and oud blend makes it excellent for date nights and formal events, lending an air of refinement. Its subdued projection, while a point of contention for some, actually makes it suitable for office wear where discretion is key, and it works well for classy casual winter outings. It's far too elegant and not suited for sport.
