Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Ispahan EDP
This is a monumental rose-oud that's stirred up a proper hornet's nest. You'll either adore its animalic, opulent depth or recoil from its unapologetic funk. Not for the faint-hearted, but truly iconic.

Our Verdict - Cherry Story EDT
This one's a bit of a chameleon, often mistaken for a cherry bomb but it's really a sophisticated rose and patchouli number. Definitely not for the faint of heart, it's a bold scent that demands attention.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Ispahan

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear projection and immense longevity, Oud Ispahan is far too potent for everyday office wear. It's a beast mode fragrance best reserved for special occasions like dates or formal events where its commanding presence and sensual nature can shine without overwhelming those around you.

Cherry Story

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its intensity and rich, warm accords make it less suitable for an office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is preferred. However, its bold and mysterious character is perfect for a date or a formal evening event where you want to make a lasting impression.
