Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shaghaf Oud Tonka
This is a seriously divisive one - you'll either adore its deep, gourmand almond-cherry vibe or find yourself recoiling from a synthetic 'Play-Doh' impression. Potent and long-lasting, it's definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before committing.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Pentimento
This one is a proper divisive beast. You'll either love its unique blend of nutty gourmand and unexpected florals, finding it a cosy, sexy winter scent, or you'll be running for the hills from its 'synthetic' or 'nauseating' opening. Definitely not a blind buy.

Seasons

Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its beast-mode performance and strong sillage make it overwhelming for office wear unless applied very sparingly. However, its bold, sensual gourmand character is perfect for date nights and special formal occasions, while it can also be a cosy casual scent during colder months.

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its sweet, woody, and rum accords, combined with moderate sillage, make it too prominent for a formal office setting. However, its sensual and cosy nature is perfect for date nights or relaxed casual wear, especially in cooler weather, as mentioned by several reviewers.
