Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - Pearl Oud
Kilian Pearl Oud is a divisive beast, a proper love-it-or-hate-it rose-oud that's both challenging and utterly captivating. Some find it a dirty, animalic masterpiece, others a 'cat piss' nightmare. If you dare, you might just uncover its intoxicating, luxurious core.

Our Verdict - Diamond Wood
Perfume Parlour's run at By Kilian's Pearl Oud. The spicy saffron-and-rose-over-oud signature with its animalic castoreum edge is recognisable, but Diamond Wood tames the original's beast-mode performance and refined depth into a softer, more wearable take.
