Which Should You Buy?
This one's a real love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you can push past the notoriously challenging opening, a genuinely intriguing and potent oud-leather journey awaits. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but those who 'get' it rave about its unique character.
This one's a proper grower, isn't it? Initially a bit sharp, but give it half an hour and you're in for a warm, spicy, leather-oud treat. It's a statement piece once it settles, no doubt about it.

Its potent projection and challenging animalic opening make it a poor choice for the office, where subtlety is key. However, its bold, luxurious character makes it suitable for formal events or evening dates, provided you and your company appreciate a strong oud. It's too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
