Hayam EDP
Stellar Times and Hayam, while sharing similar accords, cater to different sensibilities and budgets. Stellar Times leans into a fizzy amber and refined orange blossom, offering a high-end experience. Hayam, on the other hand, presents a bolder, more animalic and sweet profile at a budget price. The key difference lies in the subtlety and refinement; Stellar Times is more nuanced, while Hayam is a louder, more assertive scent. Your preference hinges on whether you prioritize sophistication or a daring, statement fragrance.

A fizzy orange blossom set in an airy, complex amber with a trace of soft wood. Strong, long-lasting and unmissable, it is a scent for dates and special evenings rather than the office.
Cotton candy sweetness against an animalic, musky underside, with jasmine and a flicker of citrus between. Bold and slightly strange, best kept for evenings, and not for anyone who dislikes sweet and earthy together.

Occasions
Its potent performance and luxurious amber-floral profile make it ideal for dates and formal events, though it is too commanding for office wear. Strong projection suggests keeping it for special occasions.
Seasons
Sugary cotton candy and amber work from spring through early autumn. It is happiest in warm weather.
Occasions
Sweet, musky and a little provocative, it is a date and night-out scent. It is the wrong thing to wear to an office or a formal event.
