Which Should You Buy?
This is a divisive one. For some, it's a photorealistic, fresh freesia dream with a peppery kick; for others, it's a 'rotting lily' or 'bug spray' nightmare. Absolutely try before you buy, it smells wildly different on skin.
If you're after an Oriental attar that's bold, evocative, and takes you on a journey, Oud Luban is your ticket. It's a gorgeous, potent beast of an oud that will turn heads.

Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
