Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Honey Aoud EDP
Honey Aoud is a monstrously potent honey-oud combo that's either a decadent delight or a synthetic nightmare, depending on who you ask. It’s got beast-mode performance, so one or two sprays are more than enough to announce your presence.

Our Verdict - Nefarious EDP
Nefarious chases Nishane's Nefs almost note-for-note - whiskey-soaked oud, honey and rose over leather and amber. Reviewers call it 90-95% identical, with an opening and drydown so close that passers-by cannot tell the two apart.
