Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ajwad Eau de Parfum

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it situation with this one. Lattafa Ajwad is wildly divisive but wildly popular, with beastly performance that many adore, but others find headache-inducing and metallic. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if it works for you, it *really* works.

Our Verdict - Ylang Ylang Nosy Be Extrait Extrait

This Ylang Ylang Extrait is a perplexing blend; intensely rich and creamy but surprisingly lacking in the performance you'd expect from an extrait. It's a love-it-or-leave-it affair, with some finding it a bold, beautiful floral while others are left underwhelmed by its projection and longevity.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office where it could overwhelm, but its seductive depth lends itself well to dates and evening formal events. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless applied sparingly, and definitely not one for sport.
