Which Should You Buy?
Imperial Valley is divisive, hailed as a masterpiece by some and a scrubber by others. This beast-mode Arab-Western fusion of fresh oud and leather needs to be tested on skin before committing, as its strength and unique profile aren't for everyone.
Qarar is a proper crowd-pleaser that delivers more than its price tag suggests. Fresh and intriguing, it's a solid, reliable choice for everyday wear.

Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for everyday casual wear, including the office. While versatile, its more modern, less formal character makes it a better fit for relaxed settings than strictly formal events.
