Which Should You Buy?
Divisive yet undeniably popular, Velvet Oud is a steal for those who appreciate a bold leather scent with good performance. Some love its rich character, others find it a "synthetic mess".
Aoud Leather from Montale is a beast-mode, divisive scent. You'll either love this bold, refined leather with oud and citrus or find it too harsh and synthetic. Definitely sample before committing.
