Which Should You Buy?
Al Jawhara by Lattafa is a divisive beast. For some, it's a luscious plum and cinnamon dream; for others, a cumin-laden nightmare. A true love-it-or-hate-it scent that demands an open mind and a maceration period.
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect potent fruit and a rich, dark base, but don't expect actual oud. It's divisive, cloying for some, intoxicating for others - definitely not a blind buy.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and lasting power, this scent is far too dominant for an office setting. However, its rich, dark fruit and tobacco profile makes it ideal for evening dates and formal events, though perhaps a touch heavy for everyday casual wear.
