Which Should You Buy?
Hermès delivers a polite, sophisticated take on rose-oud that's drawing mixed reviews. It's an elegant, clean composition, but don't expect a beast mode oud bomb. It's a 'western oud' that might just convert you, or leave you wanting more punch.
This one's a proper grower. Give Oud Couture five minutes past that initial medicinal blast, and you're in for a seriously luxurious, rose-drenched oud experience. It's a love-it-or-hate-it opening that mellows beautifully.
