Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Colonia Oud EDT
A divisive oud, this one. Some reckon it's a masterpiece of fresh, approachable oud-leather with beastly performance, while others find it unremarkable, lacking oud, or just a bit too much. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - No.215 Colonia Oud Parfum
No.215 pairs Acqua di Parma's bergamot-and-orange citrus opening with a synthetic oud-and-leather base, mirroring Colonia Oud's contrast of fresh Italian citrus against dark, woody depth. The oud and leather feel a touch more linear than the original's layered patchouli finish, but the overall silhouette is recognisable.

Casual
Its potent performance and sophisticated oud-leather profile make it ideal for formal occasions and dates. While some find it office-friendly due to its 'clean' oud, its intensity means you'd want to go easy on the sprays in a professional setting. Not at all suited for sport due to its rich, heavy nature.
