Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Retrospect Parfum
This one's proper divisive, love it or hate it. Some reckon it's a classy, modern "your skin but better" scent with a juicy pear opening, while others detect pickles, rancid musk, or a dusty old makeup bag. Definitely one to try before you buy, it smells totally different depending on your skin chemistry.

Our Verdict - Bahjah Eau de Parfum
If you're after something truly subtle, Bahjah might just be your speed - otherwise, it's a bit of a wallflower. The consensus leans towards a gentle, sweet floral, but don't expect it to turn heads from across the room.

Season and Occasion Fit

Retrospect Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Despite its 'Parfum' concentration, many users report it as a skin scent, making it suitable for office and casual wear. Its unique and sometimes polarising character means it might not suit every formal occasion, though some find it elegant enough. The fresh and clean aspects lend themselves well to casual and even light sport use.

Bahjah Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its famously weak sillage makes it an ideal, inoffensive choice for the office or casual daily wear. It's generally too faint for formal events or a loud night out, but could work for a quiet, close-proximity date.
