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.

Our Verdict - Potion Eau de Parfum

This discontinued gem divides opinion sharply; some hail it as a masterpiece, a rich, spicy amber with a unique medicinal-boozy twist, while others lament its poor performance and a scent that reminds them of church or cough syrup. Love it or hate it, DSquared² Potion has fervent fans missing its unique charm.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habik For Men 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

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.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its warm, spicy, and amber profile, combined with generally low projection, makes it ideal for intimate settings like dates and adaptable to cooler formal events. It's too heavy for sport and most offices, though some find it office-appropriate due to its close-to-skin nature.
