Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Aoud EDP
Seriously divisive, this one. It's an imposing Middle Eastern rose and oud combo on steroids, a beast mode fragrance that isn't for background players. You'll either love its gothic, opulent vibe or find it overwhelmingly synthetic and 'old lady'.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Qissat Al Najah Nedawi EDP
A divisive scent that improves dramatically with age, this passionfruit-drenched oud initially throws off some people, but with time develops into a surprisingly smooth, crowd-pleasing amber-leather dream. Definitely one to try, but maybe let it macerate for a bit.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Aoud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear performance and room-filling sillage, Black Aoud is definitely not an office-safe scent, but it excels in formal evening settings or on a date where you want to make a lasting, sophisticated impression. Its intensity is too much for casual wear and entirely unsuitable for sport.

Qissat Al Najah Nedawi

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Formal

Its significant projection and longevity make it less suitable for office wear, but perfect for dates and evening events. The unique fruity-oud profile is versatile enough for casual evening outings, but definitely not for the gym.
