Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Luban
If you're after an Oriental attar that's bold, evocative, and takes you on a journey, Oud Luban is your ticket. It's a gorgeous, potent beast of an oud that will turn heads.

Our Verdict - Incense Oud EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined incense-oud, but be warned: this one polarises opinion on its longevity. Expect a smooth, masterfully blended experience, but don't expect it to last for days. If you love incense, this is a must-try, but bring your wallet.

Season and Occasion Fit

Oud Luban

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance isn't for the faint of heart or the close-quarters office, given its potent oud and strong sillage. It's best reserved for dates or formal events where its commanding presence can be appreciated, transporting you to exotic locales without being out of place.

Incense Oud

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

While many praise its refined nature, the bold, woody, and smoky accords, combined with its variable projection, make it less suitable for office wear. It truly shines in formal settings and intimate dates, where its luxurious and mysterious character can be appreciated without being overpowering.
