Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - The Haunting Blend Eau de Parfum
This one sparks debate like no other. You'll either love its refined, spicy oud and patchouli blend, or you'll be smelling crayons and farm animals. Definitely an acquired taste, so don't blind buy unless you're prepared for an olfactory adventure.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Damascus Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Dior Oud Ispahan (2012) - rose, oud and oud translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.
