Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ahlam EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined floral oud that showcases the best of Eastern and Western perfumery. It's a complex, sophisticated scent that's loved by many, even those who usually dislike oud or rose.
Statement
Our Verdict - Clemency EDP
A budget take on Roja Ahlam. The lush rose-jasmine-ylang heart, saffron warmth and powdery oud-vanilla base capture the original's luxurious oriental-floral feel, though the dupe wears flatter and skin-closer - the precious-woods depth and long sillage are softened.

Also Works:
Casual

This perfume's moderate to strong sillage and luxurious, complex floral-oud character make it ideal for formal events and romantic evenings. Its refined nature allows for some casual wear, but it's a bit too opulent for active sports or a quiet office environment.

Occasions

Best For:
