Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Rose 31 EDP
A moody, modernist rose veiled in cumin, woods, and musky resins, Rose 31 is an unorthodox floral that oozes confidence and urban sensuality. Not for the faint of heart, it's a cult favorite that captivates as much as it polarizes.
Statement
Our Verdict - Odyssey Aoud EDP
This is a seriously polarising beast. Some rave about its luxurious oud and spice, others call it a horrific medicinal diesel. If you're patient enough to let it macerate, you might just find a hidden gem, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Season and Occasion Fit

Rose 31

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Winter

Warm spices and dry woods make Rose 31 ideal for crisp fall days and cool spring evenings, while its subtle floral and musky facets allow it to work in winter and, for some, in summer heat if applied lightly. The cumin and woods can feel overwhelming in high humidity.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its intimate projection and unique spicy-woody floral profile work beautifully for dates and casual wear, lending confidence and intrigue. It's a bit too raw and sensual for formal events or athletic settings, and the cumin can be polarizing in close office quarters.

Odyssey Aoud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

With its nuclear projection and long-lasting nature, Odyssey Aoud is far too potent for the office or casual day wear. It's best reserved for formal events or special dates where its strong, masculine, Middle Eastern-inspired character can truly shine without overpowering. Many reviewers noted its unsuitability for everyday wear due to its strength.
