Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Jaune Intense EDP
This is a proper summer holiday in a bottle: bursting with tropical fruit and creamy white florals. Forget the 'Oud' in the name, it's barely there. It's beautiful, but prepare for controversy: for every rave, there's someone calling it overpriced tropical body wash.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Dark Yellow Wood EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Fragrance Du Bois - Oud Jaune Intense - a floral fragrance led by Ylang-Ylang, Fruity Notes, Pineapple, with fruity depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.
