Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - I Want Oud Eau de Parfum
This isn't the oud beast you might expect from the name; it's a surprising, sweeter take on a classic. Some find it gorgeous and elegant, others are left wanting a more traditional oud. If you're after a tamer, sweeter oud, this could be your jam.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Adhara Oud Extrait
This one's a divisive oud, with some finding it a sophisticated, elegant take on a smoky oud-leather combo. Others, however, are left disappointed by its perceived lack of strength and projection, especially for an "Extrait".

Season and Occasion Fit

I Want Oud Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its elegant and feminine character makes it fitting for dates and formal occasions. The tempered oud ensures it's not too intrusive for office wear, but the warmth means it's perhaps a bit much for casual daytime.

Adhara Oud Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

The dominant oud and leather accords suggest a boldness that might not suit a typical office environment. However, its sophisticated and mysterious character makes it ideal for evening dates and formal events, though some users reported issues with sillage. It's too heavy and complex for casual or sport wear.
