Which Should You Buy?
If you are absolutely obsessed with lilac and you're after a photo-realistic, linear scent, then Lilac Path might just be your holy grail. But for the price, many find its fleeting nature and simple composition a hard pill to swallow, begging the question: is it truly worth it?
Al Waseem is a proper shape-shifter, opening with a bold, almost feminine floral punch that miraculously dries down to an old-school barbershop scent. It's a challenging ride for some, but many reckon the dry-down is utterly worth the wait for this surprisingly complex and versatile scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
Its fresh, delicate, and often moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear without being intrusive. However, its perceived lack of 'complexity' and occasional issues with longevity mean it's less ideal for formal events where a more impactful scent might be desired, and its gentle nature doesn't align with sporty activities.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its moderate longevity and sillage, coupled with its fresh spicy and floral accords, make it suitable for a range of occasions, adapting well to casual wear and even some office settings, despite initial strong florals. Given its unique evolution, it can surprisingly fit warmer weather casual and even date nights, though its floral opening might be too bold for formal events.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share White Floral, Green, Floral accords and Jasmine notes
