In a UK winter, wear something sweet, spicy or woody. Fresh aquatics disappear outdoors and then shout in a heated shop.
The five bottles
- Asad — the default men’s winter evening scent.
- Khamrah — unisex, but plenty of men wear it. Cinnamon and dates.
- Oud for Glory — if you want oud, not sugar.
- Liquid Brun — vanilla, cinnamon, praline. Polished.
- Asad Bourbon — warmer, boozier Asad.
Two sprays. One extra on a coat collar if you are walking. More in wearing Arabian fragrance in a British climate.
What to skip until April
Light coconut, loud pineapple, and anything sold as an aquatic. They will not show up on a pavement in January. Save them for summer.
