Which Should You Buy?
A divisive scent for sure: some find this an easy-to-wear, fresh take on oud that's truly versatile, giving incredible performance. Others get a synthetic headache in a bottle, comparing it to urinal cakes or fabric softener. Sample first, this one's definitely not a safe blind buy.
Reviewers praise the original Colonia Intensa Oud for pairing bright Italian citrus with a sweeter, less smoky oud than most oud fragrances, and AP313 keeps that unusual citrus-oud contrast well, though the coriander-forward heart is a touch louder here than in Acqua di Parma's more restrained blend.
