Which Should You Buy?
A truly polarising scent, Ferrari Essence Oud is a divisive beast. Some adore its opulent rose-oud blend, hailing it as niche-quality and a steal, whilst others recoil at its intensity, labelling it synthetic and cloying. Approach with caution, but if it clicks, prepare for beast-mode performance.
A truly luxurious and sophisticated leather amber, Saint Sulpice strikes a beautiful balance between warmth and refinement. It's a scent that smells expensive, for those who don't mind the price tag. Just be aware, some find it a bit too tonka-heavy.

Occasions
With beastly projection and longevity, this intense oud-rose-leather scent is far too strong for the office but shines on formal evenings and dates. Its powerful, oriental character means it's best reserved for occasions where making a statement is desired.
