Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Areej Al Oud
This woody rose oud is perfectly pleasant and inoffensive, if a little unremarkable. It's well-blended but lacks a distinctive edge, making it a safe yet forgettable choice for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Nero Oudh
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.
