Black Oud EDP

Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a chameleon, often starting brash before settling into something really rather sophisticated and warm. Don't blind buy unless you live for spicy, woody scents, but if you do, it's a solid win.
Kilian's Black Oud is a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. It's potent, animalic, and definitely not for the uninitiated, but if you're into an intense oud experience, you'll be absolutely hooked.
