Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Attar Al Thameen
This one is a real Marmite scent, evoking strong opinions. While some rave about its luxurious, warm embrace, others are put off by a challenging oud and a surprising resemblance to Joop! Definitely try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Oud de Nil
This one's a proper grower, a controversial take on oud that starts strong and settles into something unexpectedly beautiful. It's divisive, with some finding it a bit 'much' at first, but for those who stick with it, Oud de Nil offers a surprisingly delicate interpretation of a classic.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al Attar Al Thameen

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent oud and long-lasting, projecting nature make it too assertive for the office, but perfect for evenings and colder weather dates. The strong, oriental character also lends itself well to formal events, though perhaps less so for casual everyday wear.

Oud de Nil

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong opening and sophisticated oud-rose profile, this scent is better suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. Its longevity means it will carry you through a date or formal gathering with ease, though some find it can be a bit 'intense' for casual daytime wear.
