Which Should You Buy?
If your nose can handle the challenge, Lubb Al Oud is a deep, divisive fragrance. Prepare for a rich, intense experience that isn't for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.
Serge Noire is a love-it-or-hate-it scent. Expect a challenging opening that veers into body odour territory for some, but if you can push through, it transforms into an incredibly deep, sexy, and artistic blend of dark spices and woods. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
The intense oud and spicy accords, coupled with its powerful projection, make this less suitable for an office or casual setting. It shines brightest where its bold and mysterious character can be appreciated, like formal events or an adventurous date night.
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its potent, polarising opening and strong sillage make it unsuitable for office wear, but its intriguing, confident dry-down is perfect for dates and evening events. The intensity could overwhelm in casual settings, and it's far too heavy for sport.
