Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, a refined oud and rose that isn't for dabblers. It takes some getting used to the strong, almost medicinal opening, but trust us, the payoff is a beautiful, expensive-smelling dry down. Not a blind buy, but definitely a masterpiece for the oud-curious.
This one's a proper wild card. Equest Canter isn't for the faint of heart, dividing opinions between 'herbs and turds' and 'heavenly'. If you're after something genuinely niche and a bit challenging, this smoky, woody beast might just be your new obsession.
