Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud for Happiness
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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Paris*L.A
This one's a proper sweet shop of a scent, a divisive mix of fizzy cola straight from the can and syrupy macarons. Some find it a delightful, playful gourmand, others a cloying, chemical mess. You'll either love it or hate it, mate.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud for Happiness

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

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.

Paris*L.A

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it a decent choice for casual wear and dates, as it's noticed without being overwhelming. The overt sweetness and playful gourmand character aren't quite right for formal settings or an office environment.
