Which Should You Buy?
Maaroof is for those who crave a unique aroma from their Arabian oil collection. This spicy-sweet blend is a surprisingly soft alternative to traditional woody scents, leaning more feminine but still utterly unisex. It's a genuine crowd-pleaser that stands out from the usual suspects.
Maya Njie's Vanilj is a wonderfully divisive cardamom explosion; a polarising take on vanilla that's either a warm, comforting Swedish bakery bun or a cold, medicinal spice cupboard. Best for those who know real cardamom.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
The warm and woody character makes it versatile and pleasant for casual wear and dates, though its unique sweetness might be a bit much for a formal office setting. It's definitely not a workout scent.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its soft sillage and warm, comforting nature make it perfect for casual wear, ensuring it's enjoyable without being overpowering. It can work for office settings due to its subtle presence, but wouldn't be a standout for formal events or sports.
