Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Oud EDP
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Wood City EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Bond No.9 New York Oud - a woody fragrance led by Orange, Saffron, with citrus depth. As a budget interpretation it sits lighter and more linear than the designer, but the core signature is there.
