Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Najma Nova EDP
This loud, potent sweet bomb from Risala goes big on fruit and gourmand notes. It's a crowd-pleasing, surprisingly affordable take on popular Middle Eastern fragrance profiles, if a tad too feminine for some chaps.
Statement
Our Verdict - Check Please EDT
Divisive yet addictive, this 'fruity yogurt' gourmand has fans obsessed with its unique creamy, tart sweetness - but beware of a screechy dry down and a potentially short lifespan on the skin.

Season and Occasion Fit

Najma Nova

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Built on sweet, amber and warm spicy - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its potent projection and intense sweetness make it less suitable for an office environment. However, its bold character and warm gourmand profile are perfect for dates or evening casual wear, though perhaps a bit overwhelming for formal events.

Check Please

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

While some find it good for an 'office smell', its strong gourmand character leans more towards date nights and casual wear. The sweetness and potential for a 'screechy' dry-down might be too distracting for formal or professional settings, and its warmth makes it unsuitable for active sports.
