Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a curveball. Oud Saffron is a serious contender for a statement fragrance, but its beast-mode performance means you'll either love it or clear the room. Definitely not for the shy.
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.
