Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for the faint of heart. Falkar is a powerhouse oud that proudly flaunts its animalic, leathery side. It's divisive, raw, and unapologetically masculine, smelling like a horse stable in the best possible way. Definitely not a blind buy unless you live for challenging, bold scents.
If you're a devoted fan of spicy oud fragrances, you'll be well-acquainted with this DNA. It’s certainly a crowd-pleaser for those who love their scents warm and woody, delivering solid performance for its price point.
