Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Al Abyadh

This one's a bold chypre that takes you back in time, full of cypress, leather, and oakmoss. It's not for the faint-hearted, boasting a strong, earthy character that's definitely old-school, but in a rather good way. A proper statement scent.

Our Verdict - In Extremis

This is a bold, divisive scent that's far from a crowd-pleaser. Some find it a masterpiece of dark luxury with incredible performance; others dismiss it as an ashtray or complain about its supposed fleeting nature. Definitely try before you buy, as impressions vary wildly.

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its potent projection and intense, dark accords make it less suitable for office wear. This is a dramatic scent, perfect for evening dates or formal events where its unique character can truly shine, though some find it too challenging for everyday casual wear.
