Which Should You Buy?
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.
This isn't a shy one. Alioth is a regal, unapologetic oud-rose, polarising for its animalic depth but celebrated by those who crave a distinctive, opulent scent. It's an investment, but many find it utterly essential.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
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.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its immense sillage and eternal longevity make it a bold choice for office wear, best reserved for very special occasions or with a single, careful spray. It shines brightest in formal settings or on a romantic date, where its opulent character can truly impress.
