New York Oud is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, notorious for its monstrous performance. Expect a potent, dark rose and plum with an oud backbone, but brace yourself for polarising 'urinal cake' comparisons from its detractors.

This Turkish rose offers a divisive start - some find it harsh and synthetic, others fresh and realistic - but settles into a sweet, honeyed bloom. It's a proper grown-up rose, a little 'granny-ish' in the best way, with enough character to keep things interesting.
