Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Opus XIII Silver Oud
Prepare yourself: Silver Oud is an absolute beast. This is a "love it or hate it" fragrance that polarizes like mad, with some calling it a masterpiece and others declaring it an abomination. For serious oud lovers only, and definitely not a blind buy.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Absolute Pour Homme
If you're after a properly grown-up, unapologetically masculine scent, this could be your new signature. It's a dark horse that punches above its weight.

Season and Occasion Fit

Opus XIII Silver Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its overwhelming intensity and animalic accords, Silver Oud is ill-suited for the office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal events or evening dates where its bold, luxurious, and long-lasting nature can make a statement without suffocating a room.

Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

This scent's dominant woody and leather accords, alongside its generally strong character, make it a definite win for evening dates and formal events. It might be a little much for a crowded office, but could work for casual wear if applied sparingly.
