Which Should You Buy?
Chopard's Oud Malaki is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it kind of oud, particularly for those expecting a 'true' Middle Eastern profile. It's a surprisingly good entry point for oud beginners, with a smoother, more Westernised touch that many appreciate for its excellent value.
If you're after a dark, intoxicating oud-amber bomb that turns heads and lasts an age, this is it. Forget comparisons, this one stands on its own as a beast-mode, compliment-getting Arabian fantasy.
