Which Should You Buy?
Faqat Lil Rijal is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, an unapologetic oud and leather bomb from Rasasi. If you're after a full-throttle Middle Eastern experience on a budget, and not afraid of a bit of barnyard skank, this is your ticket. Just be warned, it's not for the faint of heart, or nose.
Don't let the name fool you, Oud Nuclear is far from an atomic beast. It's a surprisingly smooth, sophisticated oud-leather with a floral heart that's surprisingly wearable and gets a lot of love, though some find it a bit harsh.
