Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habik For Men Eau de Parfum

Lattafa's Habik is a polarising spicy bomb that punches above its weight. Some find it a strong, sophisticated, masculine scent, while others struggle with its initial harshness or chemical undertones. It needs maceration to truly shine, transforming into a smooth, warm fragrance that evokes the spirit of more expensive bottles, and will definitely get you noticed.

This is a seriously underrated gem for those who appreciate a warm, subtly spiced fragrance that leans cosy and comforting. It's a crowd-pleaser that manages to be both unique and universally appealing.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and spicy nature, combined with moderate to strong projection, makes it less suited for a conservative office. It truly shines on a date night or formal event, where its sensual and mysterious profile can make a statement, but it can also be a versatile cooler weather casual scent. It's too heavy for sports.

Date Casual Formal

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and long-lasting nature make it suitable for various settings, though it is a bit too warmly spiced for intense office environments or active wear. The cosy, elegant scent profile lends itself well to dates and formal occasions, and it's also perfect for casual outings.
