Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habik For Men Eau de Parfum
Lattafa's Habik is a polarising spicy bomb that punches above its weight. Some find it a strong, sophisticated, masculine scent, while others struggle with its initial harshness or chemical undertones. It needs maceration to truly shine, transforming into a smooth, warm fragrance that evokes the spirit of more expensive bottles, and will definitely get you noticed.

Our Verdict - Malbec Black Eau de Parfum
This one's a proper spicy enigma, constantly compared to Bvlgari Man in Black but confidently carving its own path. Expect a boozy, warm hug that's less uptight and surprisingly long-lasting, though perhaps a tad overhyped by some.

Season and Occasion Fit

Habik For Men Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and spicy nature, combined with moderate to strong projection, makes it less suited for a conservative office. It truly shines on a date night or formal event, where its sensual and mysterious profile can make a statement, but it can also be a versatile cooler weather casual scent. It's too heavy for sports.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, and the warmth is all wrong for sporty activities. This is a scent for intimate dates and evening wear, with its sophisticated spicy-woody character lending itself well to formal occasions.
