Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ohoud

This one's a proper divisive scent. Some find its journey from sharp grape to a cosy, powdery drydown quite unique, while others are less charitable, dismissing it as dated and synthetic. Definitely a 'try before you buy' situation.

Our Verdict - Attar Alwan

Divisive, absolutely. This one's either a vibrant, sparkling rose-aldehyde dream or a full-on grandma scent - there's really no in-between. Don't blind buy, trust me.

Its bold projection and classic, opulent character make it less suitable for a modern office or casual wear. Best reserved for formal events or a special night out where its rich accords can truly shine without overwhelming.
