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 - Istanbul Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous, comforting amber that's not afraid of a bit of spice and a fresh aromatic kick. It's divisive only because some say its performance is poor, but the scent itself is a hug in a bottle.

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.
