Which Should You Buy?
Caftan is a truly divisive scent; some rave about its luxurious incense and amber, calling it a masterpiece, while others dismiss it as an "old lady's closet" or overly synthetic baby powder. Test before you invest in this love-it-or-hate-it amber bomb.
This one's a proper grower, apparently. Don't judge it straight out of the box; give it time to macerate and shed that 'chemical mess' vibe. What starts as a bit weird and divisive eventually mellows into something genuinely intriguing, though some will always find it too niche.

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but its sophisticated and alluring amber profile is perfect for dates and formal events. The warmth and depth also lend themselves well to casual evening wear in colder months.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Its initial harshness and eventual warm, mysterious character make it better suited for evening or cooler weather. While 'date night' was mentioned, its unique profile means it's not a universal crowd-pleaser for every casual or formal event.
