Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Eau d'Oud Eau de Parfum

This isn't for the faint of heart or those after a safe blind buy. Eau d'Oud sparks a proper love-or-hate debate, with its challenging oud note balanced by fresh citrus. Give it time to mature, and you might just get hooked, but prepare for some divisive comments along the way.

Our Verdict - Reporter for Men Eau de Toilette

A divisive scent with a split personality: some find it a fresh, natural-smelling daily driver; others a throwback powerhouse. It's affordable, but be warned, formulations vary wildly.
