Which Should You Buy?
Divisive but undoubtedly distinctive, Oud for Happiness is either a vibrant, uplifting spice-bomb or a 'rotting animal corpse' with a hint of 'jerky chicken'. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it.
This one's a divisive vanilla, often hailed as chic and elegant, but prepare for the 'Play-Doh' brigade to bring the vibe down. If you're into a soft, powdery, almost doughy vanilla with a subtle green edge, you'll love it - just don't expect beastly projection or you'll be disappointed.

Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its robust projection and very long-lasting nature, coupled with its bold, spicy and green character, make it less ideal for a restrained office environment. However, its unique and appealing profile lends itself well to casual outings, dating, and even more daring formal events where making a statement is desired.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its intimate projection and delicate nature make it highly suitable for an office setting or casual wear, as it won't offend. While many describe it as elegant, its soft sillage limits its impact for more formal events or dates where you might want to make a bolder statement.
