Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Royal Oud Eau de Parfum
Royal Oud by Creed is a sophisticated woody scent that whispers 'old money' rather than shouting, making it a firm favourite for those who want elegance without the typical 'oud beast'. Some find it utterly captivating, while others believe its performance doesn't justify the price - you decide.
Acquired
Our Verdict - J’approchais Un Mystère A.C. Eau de Parfum
A woody-green journey that takes its sweet time to get to the good bit - a creamy, nutty sandalwood drydown that's utterly divine, if fleeting. Worth the wait for some, others will find it just 'average' before it vanishes.
