Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Attar Al Thameen EDP
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 - Musk Aoud EDP
Musk Aoud is a deeply polarising fragrance; some find it a masterful, unique blend of sensuality and luxury, while others are put off by its intense animalic facets and surprisingly poor longevity for the price. This one is for the bold, but sample first.

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.

Musk Aoud

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is too dense and animalic for office or casual wear, often described as 'intimate' and 'sensual'. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious, complex character can be appreciated, despite some concerns about its projection and longevity.
