Which Should You Buy?
This is a seriously polarising scent - a love it or hate it affair. Some call it a masterpiece with a cult following, others reckon it's a screechy, headache-inducing disaster. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for apple shisha vibes.
Aziyade by Parfum d'Empire is a seriously divisive scent. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, with fans adoring its spicy, fruity complexity and others recoiling from its notorious cumin note that smells like body odour. Definitely not a blind buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its bold, long-lasting nature and the significant cumin element make it potentially too provocative for office wear. However, its deeply sensual and exotic profile makes it perfect for date nights and special occasions where a unique, confident statement is desired.
