No.288 Black Aoud Parfum
Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Black Aoud EDP
Seriously divisive, this one. It's an imposing Middle Eastern rose and oud combo on steroids, a beast mode fragrance that isn't for background players. You'll either love its gothic, opulent vibe or find it overwhelmingly synthetic and 'old lady'.

Our Verdict - No.288 Black Aoud Parfum
Eden's No.288 chases Montale's rose-and-oud powerhouse Black Aoud with a leaner, more restrained hand - the rose-oud pairing is there, but the animalic, barnyard-y intensity that defines the original is softened considerably.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Best For:

Formal
Given its nuclear performance and room-filling sillage, Black Aoud is definitely not an office-safe scent, but it excels in formal evening settings or on a date where you want to make a lasting, sophisticated impression. Its intensity is too much for casual wear and entirely unsuitable for sport.
