Which Should You Buy?
Nostos is Etat Libre d'Orange playing it safe, delivering a powerful oud-and-leather scent that’s a dead ringer for many others. It's a love-or-hate affair, with its extreme projection and divisive "burnt rubber" or "hospital" notes polarising opinion.
Nostro Oud is Perfume Parlour's dupe of Etat Libre d'Orange's Nostos, translating its rose-suede-incense heart and oud-sandalwood base into an approachable everyday oud. It reads as a dark, smoky woody-floral with good bones, though it's a simpler interpretation of Nostos's more unconventional niche construction.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of longevity and sillage, making it far too overpowering for an office or casual setting. Its rich oud and leather accords are perfectly suited for formal events or a confident date night statement, particularly in colder weather.
