Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Oud EDP
This is a seriously divisive oud, splitting the room between those who sing its praises for masterful blending and bold projection, and others who think it's just 'weak AF'. Either way, it's unmistakably Al Haramain: don't expect quiet sophistication.
Acquired
Our Verdict - No.578 Black Oud Parfum
A rose-oud oriental in the vein of the Middle Eastern oud-house genre this No.578 is inspired by - spicy rose and cardamom up top give way to a woody, incense-laced oud base, though it sits lighter and less resinous than the premium ouds it draws from.

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and long-lasting nature, Black Oud is a bit too much for the office. It excels in formal and date settings where its bold, woody oud character can shine, but it's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
