Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper divisive scent - people either love its unique, woody freshness or find it too sweet and overpowering. Definitely not for everyone, but those who get it, really get it. It's got that unmistakable Middle Eastern flair.
White Oud chases Al Majed Oud Wood White - the same juicy citrus opening leading into saffron, leather and caramel over creamy woods. The dupe gets the sparkling-sweet-meets-leather contrast, but it reads flatter and shorter-lived than the well-projecting original.
