Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oudain Eau de Parfum
Prepare for a wild ride with Oudain: a divisive, love-it-or-hate-it scent that some call a masterpiece and others, a barnyard. It's not for the faint-hearted, but if you're brave enough to macerate, you might just unlock its seductive, niche-level charm.
Acquired
Our Verdict - HiM Eau de Parfum
A divisive beast, HiM is either a hidden gem of spicy-woody warmth, or a synthetic mess. Most will find it a cosy, understated autumn/winter option, but some will struggle with its cloying sweetness and lack of dynamism.
