Which Should You Buy?
This one's a wild ride. Malesia is a polarising oud, kicking off with a barnyard funk that quickly mellows into a surprisingly smooth, sweet, and complex scent. Definitely not for the shy, but a real treat for those who appreciate a challenging, artistic oud.
This one's a wild ride. Expect a polarising blend of dirty oud and fresh florals that some will adore as a 'masterpiece', while others will recoil in horror, calling it 'stale musty standing water'. Definitely not blind-buy safe, but if it clicks, it *really* clicks.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its strong, often challenging opening and luxurious, deep character, Malesia is best suited for formal and intimate evening occasions. It's too potent for the office and not really a casual or sport scent.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and spring.
Occasions
Given the strong, 'dirty' oud accord and extract concentration, Tempel isn't ideal for office wear, as it could be overwhelming. Its distinctive and sensual profile makes it perfect for a date or formal evening, while being a bit too much for sport and perhaps a touch too quirky for everyday casual wear.
