Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Avant Garde
If you're after a clean, fresh, and elegant scent without breaking the bank, Avant Garde is your shout. It’s got that crowd-pleasing, office-friendly vibe, though some find the drydown a bit dusty. Overall, a solid bet for a versatile everyday fragrance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Arabisque
This budget-friendly gem from Al Rehab is a divisive one. Some find it a beautifully balanced citrus and vanilla oud, a truly gorgeous hidden gem. Others are completely put off by an overwhelming musk or sweetness. Try before you commit.

Season and Occasion Fit

Avant Garde

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its clean and fresh profile with moderate longevity makes it an excellent choice for the office and casual wear. While elegant enough for a date or some formal events, its strong projection according to some reviews might be too much for intimate settings.

Arabisque

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The sweet, warm, and somewhat spicy nature of Arabisque lends itself well to casual and date settings, especially in colder months. Its projection isn't overpowering, making it a decent choice for work if applied lightly, but less suitable for formal events or sport.
