Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al-Khat EDP
Al-Khat is the definition of a love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, with its intensely animalic oud and indolic jasmine splitting opinions down the middle. This is a powerful, uncompromising scent for those who dare to be different, but definitely not a safe blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Anesse EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Obsession. Built around Basil, Civet, Coriander, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Obsession.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al-Khat

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its nuclear projection and strong animalic accords make it unsuitable for office wear, where discretion is key. However, its 'sex in a bottle' appeal and opulent nature make it ideal for date nights and formal evening events, leaving a lasting, memorable impression.

Anesse

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, aromatic profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
