Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Al Qiam Gold Eau de Parfum
Al Qiam Gold is not for the faint of heart; a beast-mode, divisive leather and oud bomb that demands confidence. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions - but if you're into that dark, intense vibe, you'll adore it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Happy Oud Eau de Parfum
Divisive, potent, and a total steal for its price point. Ignore the 'Happy' in the name, this oud-leather beast is for those who like to make an entrance. It's not a blind buy unless you live for bold, Middle Eastern-inspired scents.

Season and Occasion Fit

Al Qiam Gold Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with intense leather and oud accords, make it unsuitable for an office or casual setting. This scent shines in colder weather for special occasions or dates where its bold character can make a statement.

Happy Oud Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong oud and leather accords, this is too assertive for most office environments, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're feeling particularly bold, and definitely not for sport.
