Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Guava EDP
Black Guava is a full-throttle, unapologetic fruit-and-oud beast. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but for those who get it, this beastly performer delivers a thick, sticky, and utterly addictive tropical punch with serious longevity. Not for the faint of heart.

Our Verdict - Oudous Lux Solis Extrait
This perfume is a divisive one. Some hail it as a gorgeous, smooth, fruity oud, while others find it too strong, synthetic, and lacking genuine oud. Definitely try before you buy, as this is a love-it-or-hate-it experience.
