Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Déclaration

This one's a divisive beast, a true love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect a rich, spicy journey that's definitely not for everyone - the cumin note particularly polarises opinion, smelling like exotic spices to some and body odour to others. Definitely sample before committing.

Statement

Our Verdict - Hayaam

Hayaam is a potent, sophisticated leather scent with an animalic edge that definitely isn't for everyone. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of fragrance, showcasing high-quality ingredients for a rich, somewhat dirty but undeniably addictive aroma. Not a safe blind buy, but fantastic on the right skin.

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date

Also Works:

Formal

This perfume is best suited for cooler weather and evening wear, thanks to its bold spicy and woody accords. While too strong for many office environments and completely unsuitable for sport, its sophisticated character makes it a strong contender for dates and formal occasions, despite some reports of middling longevity.
