Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive beast. For some, it's a budget amber-oud dream; for others, an unwearable scrubber. If you're into intense, animalic oud, you might just find your new obsession, but it's far from a universally loved crowd-pleaser.
New York Oud is a love-it-or-hate-it beast, notorious for its monstrous performance. Expect a potent, dark rose and plum with an oud backbone, but brace yourself for polarising 'urinal cake' comparisons from its detractors.
