Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Daarej Eau de Parfum
Daarej is a divisive beast, loved for its unique charm and bargain price, yet scoffed at by others for being too synthetic, too sweet, or smelling like Grandma's powder. It's a risk, but a cheap one that could just become your signature.

Our Verdict - Oriental Soul Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper grown-up vanilla, swaddled in smoky amber and a whisper of green. It's a gorgeous-smelling scent, though some find its longevity less than stellar, so bear that in mind.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its sweet and soft nature makes it suitable for intimate or casual settings, with many reviewers calling it a great date night scent. Although some say it's office-friendly due to its 'inoffensive' character, its potential for strong projection means a higher office score. It's too sweet and rich for formal or sport occasions.

Casual

With its warm, sensual accords of amber and vanilla it's perfectly suited for dates and formal events. It's a bit too rich for the office or sport, but the moderate sillage makes it work for casual evenings if worn sparingly.
