Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Malaki
This isn't for the faint of heart. Oud Malaki is a bold, divisive beast that'll get noticed - for better or worse. It’s got that strong Middle Eastern vibe, so if you're not into potent oud, steer clear. Otherwise, prepare for a statement.

Our Verdict - Hawas London
Hawas London is a divisive one, hyped by some, reviled by others as an 'old lady' perfume. Ignore the noise - it's a confident, modern rose with real depth, but definitely 'unisex leaning feminine' so not for everyone, nor a safe blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Malaki

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong oud, amber, and musky accords, this scent is too potent for an office setting and completely inappropriate for sport. It shines on dates and formal occasions where its luxurious depth can be appreciated without overwhelming a casual environment.

Hawas London

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The strong projection and prominent rose note make it less ideal for an office environment, as some perceive it as too 'old-fashioned' or feminine for men. However, its sophisticated and elegant character, combined with reported solid projection and longevity, makes it well-suited for dates and formal events.
