Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black XS

This perfume is a divisive one. While some find it to be a unique, sexy, and addictive blend of dark fruits and cacao, others are let down by its perceived weakness and lack of longevity compared to its predecessor. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, often depending on skin chemistry and expectations.

Our Verdict - Maa Arwaak

An absolute steal for how truly beautiful it smells. Maa Arwaak is an underrated Eastern floral beauty, with a gorgeous scent profile that's perfect for those who want something a little different without breaking the bank. It's not a beast, but it's a soft, comforting companion.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black XS

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its intimate sillage and seductive, dark profile mean it's ideal for dates and evening events where you want to make a statement without overpowering. However, its perceived weakness by some users makes it less suitable for formal settings requiring strong projection, and it's certainly not a sport fragrance.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and longevity make it versatile for casual and intimate settings like dates, where its warmth shines without overwhelming. While suitable for office wear due to its softer sillage, it's less ideal for formal events where a more assertive fragrance might be preferred.
