Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Precious Oud Eau de Parfum
This one is a real head-scratcher: an oud fragrance where the oud is the least 'present' player. It's a love-it-or-hate-it take on Tom Ford's Black Orchid, but with a softer, more approachable edge. If you like your florals sweet and woody with a touch of a dark side, this might just be your jam.

Our Verdict - Safran Rare Eau de Parfum
This one's a divisive oud-saffron bomb that some absolutely adore for its smoky, leathery depth and beast-mode performance, while others find the saffron muted and the overall impression a bit one-note. Expect opulent warmth, but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart.
