Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 24 Carat Pure Gold
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Lattafa 24 Carat Pure Gold is an unashamedly bold, challenging oud-leather beast that promises a riot of scent. If you're into strong, unapologetic Middle Eastern vibes, it's a winner, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.

Our Verdict - Shaghaf Oud Aswad
This isn't a shy scent, so if you're not into big, bold rose-ouds, steer clear. Some find it a chemical mess, others hail it a masterpiece. For the price, it's a stellar entry into traditional Middle Eastern perfumery, but it's divisive and definitely not a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

24 Carat Pure Gold

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its beastly projection and longevity make it entirely unsuitable for office wear, risk clearing out the room. It lends itself well to formal events and daring evening dates, especially in cooler weather, where its intense character can be appreciated.

Shaghaf Oud Aswad

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its beast-mode performance and strong sillage, this is not one for the office or casual daytime wear, as it's far too overpowering. It shines in evening settings, especially dates and formal events, where its opulent oud and rose profile can command attention.
