Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Edinburgh Eau de Parfum

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Velvet Rose & Oud (2015) - rose, oud and oud translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

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.

I Want Oud Eau de Parfum

Best For:

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

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.
