Oud Save The Queen Eau de Parfum vs Tonka & Orange Blossom Eau de Parfum
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This ain't your average oud, love. Some call it a creamy, seductive enigma; others find it a bit basic or 'grape-y'. Expect beast-mode performance if it clicks with your skin, otherwise, it might just vanish. It's a proper marmite scent - you'll either adore it or completely miss the point.
The Essence Vault's own tonka-and-orange-blossom blend from its Base Note Collection. The citrus-floral opening is bright but two-dimensional next to premium gourmand-florals, and the tonka base is louder and simpler, but it delivers an easy, warm, sweet-floral character that performs well for the price.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its potent projection and luxurious, warm spicy-floral profile make it less suitable for the office but perfect for dates and evening events. The 'beast mode' performance reported by many reviewers suggests it would be overpowering in casual or sporty settings.
Seasons
Built on sweet, floral and citrus - a composition that sits best in spring, summer and autumn.
