Which Should You Buy?
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.
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.

Its thickness and strong projection make it unsuitable for an office environment. However, its rich, impressive character is perfect for formal events or a statement-making date night, despite some finding it too potent for daily wear.
