Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Oud Eau de Parfum
Lattafa Blue Oud is a divisive and unconventional beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, blending fruity freshness with intense oud that some find unique and alluring, while others are put off by its powerful, synthetic edge.

Our Verdict - Al Areeq Silver Eau de Parfum
Al Areeq Silver is a full-throttle leather beast that's not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it scent for the experienced nose, lauded for its niche quality at a bargain price, but brace yourself for a challenging opening.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Oud Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for office wear, as many reviews mention it can be overwhelming for others. It shines in casual and date settings, particularly in cooler weather, where its unique character can be appreciated without being cloying.

Al Areeq Silver Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its beastly longevity and strong, challenging sillage make it unsuitable for the office. However, its sophisticated, masculine leather and tobacco profile is perfect for cooler weather formal events or a confident date night. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear.
