Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No.288 Black Aoud Parfum
Eden's No.288 chases Montale's rose-and-oud powerhouse Black Aoud with a leaner, more restrained hand - the rose-oud pairing is there, but the animalic, barnyard-y intensity that defines the original is softened considerably.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Royal Rose EDP
A luxurious yet balanced rose-oud perfume that shines in romantic and casual settings.

Also Works:

The presence of rose and oud makes this fragrance suitable for cooler temperatures, lending it to fall and winter. Its floral notes also fit well with spring's natural blooms.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Royal Rose's floral and oud notes make it suitable for romantic dates and casual outings. It's refined enough for office wear but not ideal for formal occasions due to its moderate projection.
