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 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.

Its exceptional longevity and beastly sillage make it overwhelming for office wear. This fragrance truly shines on a date or at formal events, where its powerful and luxurious presence can leave a memorable impression.
Seasons
Best in autumn and winter - the woody, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.
