Which Should You Buy?
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it punch to the senses. This one's an acquired taste, divisive as they come, and unapologetically bold. If you can handle the intensity, you're in for a complex, masterful journey.
This one's a divisive affair. Despite the 'oud' in the name, it's the ambergris and aldehydes playing lead, much to the chagrin of some. Expect a love-it-or-hate-it response; it's either a complex, resinous journey or a 'fake oud' scrubber.
