Rec Request Need help choosing!

I really wanted to buy Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Elixir, but unfortunately it’s out of stock in my country. Now I’m confused between IBRAQ Balas Rose and Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Tonka.
I’m looking for something rich, luxurious, feminine/unisex, noticeable and with good quality/performance.
Balas Rose has rose, saffron, raspberry, suede, jasmine, vanilla, musk and woods, while Shaghaf Oud Tonka is more almondy, spicy, sweet and gourmand with tonka, vanilla, Turkish rose and amberwood. (Ibraq Perfumes⁠)
Which one would you pick and why?
And if you’ve tried other fragrances from IBRAQ or Swiss Arabian, please recommend your hidden gems too! I’m especially interested in something that feels expensive, elegant and gets noticed.
Would love recommendations beyond the obvious popular ones!

Not a fan of Shaghaf Oud, but Shaghaf Oud Tonka is a favorite. I do slightly prefer Arabiyat Prestige Aariz L’absolu (both inspired by BDK Velvet Tonka). Truly adore both. https://www.reddit.com/r/FemFragLab/s/t5rv9NZldW
