Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Shaghaf Oud

Divisive yet legendary for its beastly performance, Shaghaf Oud is a nuclear-strength Arabian sweet oud. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent; if you get it, give it time to macerate and go easy on the sprays.

Our Verdict - Velvet Tender Oud

Dolce & Gabbana's Velvet Tender Oud is a divisive beast: some praise its nuanced rose and gentle oud, while others decry it as a harsh, unoriginal clone. If you're after a Turkish Delight in a bottle, this might be your jam - or a synthetic headache.

This perfume is a 'beast mode' performer with nuclear projection and longevity, making it far too overpowering for an office setting. Its rich, sweet, and oud-heavy profile is best suited for evening events or cold weather outings where it can truly shine and garner attention.
