Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Herod EDP
A benchmark tobacco-vanilla that wraps you in smoky, spiced luxury. Herod is intense, seductive, and unmistakably plush-perfect for cold evenings, special outings, and commanding presence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oud EDP
This one is a divisive take on oud. Some say it's a masterful, exotic blend, others find it lacking in true oud character and too fleeting. If you're after a smooth, smoky amber experience with an eastern twist, it might just be your cup of tea.
