Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Habik For Men Eau de Parfum

Lattafa's Habik is a polarising spicy bomb that punches above its weight. Some find it a strong, sophisticated, masculine scent, while others struggle with its initial harshness or chemical undertones. It needs maceration to truly shine, transforming into a smooth, warm fragrance that evokes the spirit of more expensive bottles, and will definitely get you noticed.

Our Verdict - Valentino Uomo Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Toilette

This one is a coconut rollercoaster - some adore its creamy, spicy charm, others are just plain disgusted. It's divisive, synthetic to many, but if you love a loud, sweet coconut, it might just be your summer signature. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Habik For Men Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and spicy nature, combined with moderate to strong projection, makes it less suited for a conservative office. It truly shines on a date night or formal event, where its sensual and mysterious profile can make a statement, but it can also be a versatile cooler weather casual scent. It's too heavy for sports.
