Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Marketed as unisex, but leans heavily feminine for most, it swings from 'beautiful, blended classic' to 'gag-worthy headache' depending on who you ask. If you're after a 'real' oud, look elsewhere; this is a sweet, jammy rose affair.
No. 177 recreates Gucci Oud's fruity-rose-oud contrast reasonably well, though the raspberry opening is sweeter and more forward than the original's more balanced juiciness, and the oud itself reads more generic and less resinous.
