Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opulent Shaik Classic No 77

This one's a bit of a chameleon: a refined, classy Oriental that's drawing comparisons to Creed and Joop, but its performance is leaving some scratching their heads. Is it a powerhouse, or a subtle skin scent? Expect some debate, but generally a solid nod for a refined masculine aroma.

Inizio For Him

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal Sport

With its fresh, invigourating profile and moderate projection, this is a fantastic choice for casual wear and the office, offering broad appeal without being overwhelming. While suitable for dates, its brightness leans less into formal evening events. Its freshness means it handles sport well enough without being a dedicated 'gym scent'.
