Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Black

Oud Black is a proper statement scent, packing a punch with its rich oud and spice. It's not for the faint-hearted, definitely a love-it-or-hate-it, but if you're after something bold and memorable, this might be your new signature.

Statement

Our Verdict - Safari Oud

This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an affordable oud powerhouse, while others just get cheap synthetic wood. Definitely sample first, as it's not a blind buy for the faint of heart.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong oud and warm spicy accords, this isn't one for the office, where it could overwhelm. It's absolutely perfect for a strong impression on a date or a formal event, but its intensity makes it less suitable for casual wear or sports.

Date

Also Works:

Formal

Given its strong woody-musky character and potent projection, Safari Oud is best suited for evening wear or cooler climates where it won't overwhelm. It's too assertive for an office and too heavy for casual daytime, but makes a statement on a date or at a formal event.
