Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus XIII Silver Oud EDP
Prepare yourself: Silver Oud is an absolute beast. This is a "love it or hate it" fragrance that polarizes like mad, with some calling it a masterpiece and others declaring it an abomination. For serious oud lovers only, and definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Dehn El Oud Shaheen EDP
This is a divisive but budget-friendly oud oil. For some, it's a 'holy', 'comforting' introduction to oud, while others find it too animalic, like a 'horse stall'. A true love-it-or-hate-it experience.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opus XIII Silver Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its overwhelming intensity and animalic accords, Silver Oud is ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its bold, luxurious, and long-lasting nature can make a statement without suffocating a room.

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its potent oud and animalic character, described by some as 'strong' and 'long-lasting', make it less suitable for office environments where sillage needs to be controlled. However, its exotic warmth is suitable for special occasions like dates or formal events, and can be worn casually if applied sparingly.
