Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Pur Oud EDP
Louis Vuitton Pur Oud is an olfactory journey that polarises like few others. It's a challenging, unapologetically raw oud for those who understand and appreciate the animalic nuances of the note, not for the faint-hearted or those seeking mass appeal. Be warned: it's love it or gag.

Season and Occasion Fit

Pur Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Autumn

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Also Works:
Formal

Given its extreme sillage and intensely animalic opening, Pur Oud is completely unsuitable for office or casual daytime wear where it's likely to offend. While it might suit a very specific type of formal evening event, its polarizing nature makes it a risky choice even for dates, unless your companion shares your love for unapologetic oud.

Dahn Oudh Al Shams

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

With its rich oud and spicy notes, Dahn Oudh Al Shams is best suited for cooler months, making it ideal for fall and winter. Its intensity and depth complement the cold weather.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The sophisticated and powerful oud scent is better suited for formal occasions and evening events rather than casual or sporty settings. It's more appropriate for special occasions.
