Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Want Oud EDP
This isn't the oud beast you might expect from the name; it's a surprising, sweeter take on a classic. Some find it gorgeous and elegant, others are left wanting a more traditional oud. If you're after a tamer, sweeter oud, this could be your jam.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Purple Stain EDP
This is a bold, divisive scent - you'll either love Purple Stain's distinctive 'grape' character and incredible performance or recoil from its intensity. Not for the faint of heart or nose, it's a statement piece that's garnered a cult following.

Season and Occasion Fit

I Want Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its elegant and feminine character makes it fitting for dates and formal occasions. The tempered oud ensures it's not too intrusive for office wear, but the warmth means it's perhaps a bit much for casual daytime.

Purple Stain

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Purple Stain's nuclear projection and longevity make it utterly unsuitable for office wear or casual settings where subtlety is key. It thrives in evening date scenarios or formal events where its commanding presence can truly shine without overwhelming the surroundings.
