Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Intensitive Aoud Eau de Parfum

This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an 'intensive' experience: a bold, unapologetic take on rose-oud that's both lauded for its power and loathed for its 'soapy' or 'hair spray' notes. Proceed with caution, and definitely sample first.

Our Verdict - Safran-Neroli Eau de Parfum

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Safran-Neroli swings between syrupy sweet and an intriguing oddity. It's divisive, for sure; some will find it a unique love, others, a glorified restroom cleaner. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so sample before you commit.
