Which Should You Buy?
Divisive but undoubtedly distinctive, Oud for Happiness is either a vibrant, uplifting spice-bomb or a 'rotting animal corpse' with a hint of 'jerky chicken'. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who love it, really love it.
This one's a proper head-turner, but not for everyone. If you're after a unique gourmand that's zingy and sweet without being sickly, you're in for a treat. Some find the spice and citrus a bit much, but for most, it's a beautifully balanced lemon cake fantasy.

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its robust projection and very long-lasting nature, coupled with its bold, spicy and green character, make it less ideal for a restrained office environment. However, its unique and appealing profile lends itself well to casual outings, dating, and even more daring formal events where making a statement is desired.
