Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud EDP

This one is a divisive take on oud. Some say it's a masterful, exotic blend, others find it lacking in true oud character and too fleeting. If you're after a smooth, smoky amber experience with an eastern twist, it might just be your cup of tea.

Our Verdict - Aigner No 1 EDT

This one's a reliable, versatile fragrance that's a bit of a dark horse for compliments. It’s got a classic feel, but don’t worry, it avoids being truly 'old man' territory, despite some dissenting opinions. Best for those who appreciate understated elegance over flashy statements.
