Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - autumn and spring pair best.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and the potential for it to be polarising, this isn't for the office. However, it excels in formal and date settings where its bold, luxurious character can shine without overwhelming.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and bold character, Fantastic Oud is best suited for evening wear and special occasions. It might be too overwhelming for an office environment, but perfect for making an impression on a date or at a formal event.
