Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aurora
Aurora is a seriously divisive oud-rose that you'll either love or desperately want to scrub off. Some find it a jammy, complex masterpiece, others a synthetic, 'floor cleaner' bomb. Definitely not for everyone, best to try before you buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fantastic Oud
A divisive oud for some, a crowd-pleasing Montale for others. If you're after a warm, rich, and unapologetically masculine scent that screams 'look at me', this is your guy. Don't expect subtlety, do expect compliments and a whole lot of attention from this beast mode fragrance.
