Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Ward Al Musk
Al Ward Al Musk is a beast of a fragrance, a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a potent, animalic musk and deep florals that will polarise opinion, but delight those who embrace its unapologetic intensity.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Afshan
This is a polarising beast of a soap bomb, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams 'clean' but perhaps not 'subtle'. If you adore loud, retro floral aldehydes and want to smell like an expensive bar of soap, Afshan is your champion.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al Ward Al Musk

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its enormous longevity and formidable sillage, this isn't one for the office, where it could overwhelm. It shines on dates or formal events where its bold, mysterious character can be appreciated. Casual wear is possible if you're feeling adventurous and confident enough to command attention.

Afshan

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Also Works:
Casual Formal

Given its monstrous projection and longevity, Afshan is best reserved for casual wear where its intensity won't overwhelm. It's generally too strong for an office setting and won't contribute much to a romantic date, but it could surprisingly fit a formal occasion if sprayed lightly, as it evokes a classic, put-together vibe for those who appreciate it.
