Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Cashmere EDP
A cult classic, Black Cashmere is a divisive, intoxicating blend of dark spices and woods. It's a masterpiece that inspires obsession, but be warned, it's not for everyone. If you get it, you really get it.
Acquired
Our Verdict - I Want Oud EDP
This isn't the oud beast you might expect from the name; it's a surprising, sweeter take on a classic. Some find it gorgeous and elegant, others are left wanting a more traditional oud. If you're after a tamer, sweeter oud, this could be your jam.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Cashmere

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and warm, spicy character make it less suitable for the office. However, its sophisticated and sensual allure is perfect for dates and evening events, ideally in cooler weather. Many reviews highlight its 'sexy' and 'intimate' qualities for special occasions.

I Want Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its elegant and feminine character makes it fitting for dates and formal occasions. The tempered oud ensures it's not too intrusive for office wear, but the warmth means it's perhaps a bit much for casual daytime.
