Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Limited 71
This isn't just another amber; it's a sophisticated, wearably bright take on a Middle Eastern classic. Expect something special and long-lasting that sets you apart from the crowd without shouting.

Our Verdict - Portfolio Imperial Oud
This used to be a beastly, animalic oud for the daring, but apparently Al Haramain have been sending out a different, watered-down version under the same name. If you can get your hands on the original, it's a love-it-or-hate-it powerhouse.

Also Works:

Its potent projection and inherent richness make it a daring choice for the office, though a light hand could make it work. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions where its seductive amber and incense notes can make a lasting impression.

Portfolio Imperial Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The original formulation is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it largely unsuitable for office wear. Its dark, sensual accords are perfect for date nights and formal evening events, but for casual wear it's quite intense.
