Oud Zarian Eau de Parfum vs Rose Prick Body Spray

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, and frankly, we're not surprised. It’s got beastly performance matched only by its eye-watering price, so sample before you commit to smelling like a luxury spice explosion, or an Indian takeaway, depending on who you ask.
A spiced Bulgarian rose with turmeric and Sichuan pepper, in a matte pink 150ml can. The thorns survive the dilution, which is what stops it reading as a soap.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear projection and lasting power make it completely unsuitable for the office or casual wear. However, for dates and formal occasions, particularly in cooler weather, its opulent and sophisticated character shines through, setting a mysterious and captivating mood.
Seasons
A jammy rose with turmeric and patchouli is too earthy for high summer and too warm to be a spring soliflore, so it sits best in the shoulder seasons.
Occasions
The spice and earth make it a statement rose rather than a polite one, which suits dates and evenings; the low mist projection keeps it from being intrusive.
