Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Noir EDP
This one's a proper bargain, giving you high-end oud vibes without the eye-watering price tag. It's a powerhouse with strong projection, but beware: the raspberry and rose can be a bit much for some, so it's not a universal crowd-pleaser.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Ombre Extrait
Pearl Fragrances' Ombre pulls from Louis Vuitton's smoky, incense-heavy Ombre Nomade, keeping the birch-and-oud opening bold and immediate. The rose and benzoin that soften the original's intensity are dialled back here, leaving a rawer, more one-note smoky wood.
