Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rapture
A divisive yet iconic '90s amber floral, Rapture is truly a love-it-or-hate-it scent. For some, it's a nostalgic trip back to Victoria's Secret's boldest era; for others, it's an overpowering "granny" fragrance best left in the past. One thing's for sure: it's anything but subtle.

Our Verdict - Salma
Al Haramain's Salma is a polarising, unapologetic tuberose bomb with a vintage heart. It's not for the faint of heart or those looking for a "pretty" floral, but a serious contender for tuberose lovers who appreciate a bit of skank.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rapture

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
