You wear it on your first date. You’re a little nervous, not sure how things will go.

You wear it again on the second. Then the third. The first time they stay over. The first time you fight. The first "I love you."

Later, it’s what you wear on your wedding day. Or just a slow Sunday morning when you're making coffee in your pajamas.

And every time, it hits them. The scent, the memory, the feeling.

That’s what a good perfume does. It stays with you and with them.

Now, not every perfume is going to lock in a memory or make someone lean in closer. But some? Some work like magic.  Here are the ones worth reaching for before that date.

1 Million Oud (Men’s)

If you’re the type who plans the date, picks the place, and always shows up five minutes early, this one fits you. It’s clean at first. Peachy and a little sweet, but it doesn’t stay soft. The saffron, honey, and clove kick in quietly, and then it settles into warm oud and amber that stays close to your skin.

Wear this if your idea of a date is dinner somewhere dimly lit, maybe rooftop or tucked into a quiet corner. You don’t need to say much. The scent does enough.

English Rose (Women’s)

This one’s for the ones who wear perfume for themselves before they wear it for anyone else. It opens with fresh notes of juicy litchi and rhubarb. Soon it's followed by a rose scent and it feels alive. More flowers in your garden than in a vase at a hotel.

It’s soft but has depth. Perfect if your kind of date involves talking for hours, walking after dinner, maybe laughing about things that don’t make sense later. It’s warm, pretty, and kind of lingers like a good conversation.

Habibi Albi Oud (Unisex)

If you're both a little guarded at first but end up completely obsessed with each other, this is for you. It starts off kind of serious with saffron, nutmeg, lavender and then slips into something deeper. The oud is earthy and smooth, with patchouli and musk wrapping it all together.

This works for late-night meetups, winter drives, or dates where you don't need to speak much because the chemistry’s already there. You wear it once, and someone’s going to remember you by it.

Amor Oud (Unisex)

This one’s bold right away. It doesn’t ease in. It just stays strong with the oud from the first spray, but it gets softer once it settles. The floral notes and amber come through later, kind of like when someone surprises you by being way more thoughtful than you expected.

Wear this if your dates are a little unpredictable. If you’re the type of couple who might plan a night out and end up staying in, cooking together, or dancing in the kitchen. It’s not sweet or safe, but it feels real and it sticks.
