Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L’Autre Oud Eau de Parfum

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.

Our Verdict - Ashes Extrait

This one's a proper Gothic romance in a bottle, all dark woods and ancient incense. It's a statement scent, bold and unapologetic, but don't expect it to charm everyone - it's definitely a 'love it or leave it' affair that commands attention.

Ashes Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Given its strong projection and remarkable longevity, Ashes is too imposing for an office or casual daytime wear, as community reviews confirm. Its dark, heavy, and sophisticated woody-incense profile makes it far better suited for formal events or intimate evening dates, especially in cooler weather.
