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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Happy Oud EDP
Divisive, potent, and a total steal for its price point. Ignore the 'Happy' in the name, this oud-leather beast is for those who like to make an entrance. It's not a blind buy unless you live for bold, Middle Eastern-inspired scents.

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.

Happy Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its strong oud and leather accords, this is too assertive for most office environments, but perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. It's a bit much for casual daytime wear unless you're feeling particularly bold, and definitely not for sport.
