Chopard's Oud Malaki is a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it kind of oud, particularly for those expecting a 'true' Middle Eastern profile. It's a surprisingly good entry point for oud beginners, with a smoother, more Westernised touch that many appreciate for its excellent value.

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of At The Barber's - a aromatic fragrance led by Black Pepper, Bitter Orange, Basil, with warm spicy depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
