Which Should You Buy?
This collector's edition is essentially the original Le Male Elixir in a flashy new outfit. If you're a devoted collector, go for it; otherwise, stick to the tried-and-tested original. Expect robust performance and a divisive take on the minty opening.
Divisive, though mostly for the LME comparisons, this scent is a surprisingly luxurious oud-vanilla bomb for the price. Forget the "blue cheese" brigade, Wild Oud delivers a hefty, sweet, and surprisingly sophisticated punch that's well worth a sniff.
