Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oriental Oud Original Creation EDP
Oriental Oud is one of Alexandria UK's own Original Creations, not a dupe of a specific designer scent. It pairs a dark Cambodian-style oud with a bright lemon-orange-lavender opening and a saffron-vetiver heart, aiming for an accessible entry into the oud genre rather than replicating any single house's signature.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Milano EDP
Milano by Fragrance Du Bois provides a refined blend of fresh and warm spicy notes, ideal for transitioning between seasons and various occasions.
