Which Should You Buy?
Shahrazad is a warm, woody-vanilla that's often compared to Lattafa's Raghba. It's a cosy, resinous oriental that's perfect for chilly evenings inside, offering decent performance and great value despite some mixed reviews on its longevity.
If your nose can handle the challenge, Lubb Al Oud is a deep, divisive fragrance. Prepare for a rich, intense experience that isn't for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its warm, resinous nature and moderate projection make it more suitable for evening and cooler weather occasions. While some consider it a good performer, it's generally not loud enough to offend in an office but shines brightest on dates or casual outings.
Seasons
Occasions
The intense oud and spicy accords, coupled with its powerful projection, make this less suitable for an office or casual setting. It shines brightest where its bold and mysterious character can be appreciated, like formal events or an adventurous date night.
