Which Should You Buy?
If smooth, warm vanilla and amber wrapped around an aromatic heart sounds like your jam, then Sultan Men Oud is worth a sniff. It's a surprisingly well-blended, long-lasting scent that offers a rich experience without shouting.
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.
