Which Should You Buy?
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.
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Oudgasm Vanilla Oud 36 by Kayali Fragrances - a warm spicy fragrance led by Saffron, Praline, Pear •, with sweet depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
