Which Should You Buy?
Seriously, for the price? This is a banger. Mocha Wood is a divisive blend of bold rose, sweet coffee, and woody tobacco that punches well above its weight, delivering compliments and surprising complexity after a bit of maceration. A fantastic cold-weather find.
Diptyque's Oud Palao is a brutally polarising, beast-mode oud-rose that you'll either adore for its rich, dirty elegance or recoil from its perceived barnyard skank. This is not for the faint-hearted; a true love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode projection and longevity, Oud Palao is too intense for an office setting where it could easily overpower. Its dark, luxurious character and sensual depth makes it an excellent choice for formal events or intimate dates.
