Which Should You Buy?
New York Oud is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, notorious for its monstrous performance. Expect a potent, dark rose and plum with an oud backbone, but brace yourself for polarising 'urinal cake' comparisons from its detractors.
Stars'N'Roses chases Dior's La Collection Privee Rose Star, a jammy honeyed-rose composition. The pear-citrus-pepper opening is a fair nod, but the rose-honey heart reads simpler and fades faster than Dior's dense, layered original.
