Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. If you're a fan of rich, sweet oud with a fruity twist and impressive longevity, you'll be chuffed. But if you're not into intense, traditional Middle Eastern scents, steer clear. Definitely not a blind buy.
This one is a proper head-turner, but it's not for the faint-hearted. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it beast; some find it a sophisticated leather dream, others a 'challenging' mix of industrial fumes and sour fruit. Definitely sample before you buy.

Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its beast-mode performance and strong sillage, Natural Oud is far too potent for the office. It's best reserved for evening wear, like dates or formal events, where it can make a statement without overwhelming. Its intense, warm spicy and oud profile means it's not suited for casual daytime activities or sport.
