Which Should You Buy?
A divisive take on the Ganymede profile, Royale Flair attempts to blend mineralic modernism with a traditional spicy-oud base. It's affordable, but ultimately a bit muddled.
Zafar is a polarising beast. For the uninitiated, the opening is a pure barnyard assault of funky oud. But for the confident oud-lovers who brave the strong start, a sophisticated, woody, and musky drydown awaits.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and unique spicy-floral-oud profile make it a bit too distinct for a daily office wear. It fits better for evenings or casual outings where its unusual character can be appreciated.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
The initial challenging, barnyard oud makes Zafar unsuitable for office or casual wear where you might offend. It's best reserved for formal occasions or specific date nights where its unique character can be appreciated, though many users suggest waiting until the drydown to go out.
