Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - New York Oud
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.

Our Verdict - Somow Al Rasasi Lamaan Oud Rose
This one's a dead ringer for Delina Exclusif, but don't call it a dupe. It's got its own game, delivering a beautiful, crowd-pleasing rose-oud combo that lasts for ages without breaking the bank. A truly impressive scent that's loved for its resemblance and its staying power.

Somow Al Rasasi Lamaan Oud Rose

Seasons

Also Works:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Given its strong longevity and sillage, it's a bit much for the office. However, its luxurious oud-rose profile and sweet undertones make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, while still being appropriate for a dressed-up casual outing. The deep, rich character means it's not suited for sports.
