Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ta'if Eau de Parfum

Ta'if is a sweet, spicy rose that's often misunderstood. Some find it a beautifully blended ode to the Ta'if rose, while others are baffled by its abstract nature or find it too synthetic. It's a divisive one, but those who love it, really love it.

Our Verdict - Out Of The Box Eau de Parfum

This ain't 'Out Of The Box', it's straight out of a sugar-saturated box of generic, loud rose-gourmands. If you like your florals syrupy sweet, metallic and bordering on headache-inducing, then crack on. Otherwise, give it a miss.

Occasions

Also Works:

Date Casual

The fierce sweetness and perceived metallic edge make this too aggressive for office wear. Its robust projection and longevity could carry it into a casual evening or date, but it's far too 'brutal' in its nuance for formal settings or any sporty activity.
