Which Should You Buy?
Habdan is seriously underrated, with a loyal following who call it PDM's hidden gem. It's a complex, classy blend that might not be a blind buy for everyone, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore its unique spicy-sweet personality.
This one's a crowd-pleaser, blending sweet mandarin and rich dates with an authentic, non-offensive oud. It's powerful, long-lasting, and wraps you in a cosy, almost chocolaty, resinous embrace - perfect for those cooler days.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Habdan's warm, spicy, and woody accords, combined with its strong projection and longevity, make it ideal for cooler weather and evening wear. While potent, it's considered office-safe with light sprays owing to its smooth, non-offensive character, and its refined nature makes it perfect for formal settings and dates.
Seasons
Occasions
Its powerful and long-lasting nature makes it less suitable for the office but ideal for dates, where its lingering sweetness can truly shine. The rich amber and oud accords lend themselves well to casual and slightly more formal evening events during cooler weather.
