Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Absolue Oud Bouquet EDP
A lavish, intensely sweet oud-rose that blankets you in praline and creamy woods - not for the faint of heart, but a showstopper for winter nights and occasions demanding unapologetic opulence.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Wood Bunch EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Oud Bouquet Eau De Parfum - a oud fragrance led by Oud, with vanilla depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Absolue Oud Bouquet

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dense sweet oud and praline, coupled with rich roses and lactonic facets, make this best for cold weather - it shines in fall and winter, but can be cloying in heat. Spring is possible on cold evenings; summer use is very limited.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a bold, opulent scent most suited to formal events or romantic evenings where its projection and luxurious aura can be appreciated. Too rich and assertive for the office or casual daytime, and not at all sporty.

Wood Bunch

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the oud, vanilla profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the oud accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
