Which Should You Buy?
A peppered incense opening over a dark, ambery vanilla base, Rifaaqat is an atmospheric cool-weather statement built for evenings and confident wear. Not for the faint of heart.
This is a bold, modern take on vanilla, polarising some with its spicy, leathery opening but ultimately delivering a seductive depth with stellar performance. Not for the faint-hearted, it stands out from the crowd.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Pepper-incense opening and a deep vanilla-amber base put this firmly in cool weather; fall and winter wear is built-in. Spring evenings work for the smoky character; summer heat amplifies the resin past comfortable.
Occasions
Bold, atmospheric character with strong projection fits date nights and evening wear; formal events work for the cathedral-incense gravitas. Too dense for office or sport, too distinctive for casual day in warm weather.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its strong, long-lasting projection and bold vanilla-suede-spice profile make it less suitable for an office, where it might be overwhelming. However, this intensity is perfect for dates and evening formal events, ensuring you make a memorable impression. Some find it versatile enough for refined casual wear, especially in cooler weather.
