Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Oud Extreme Amber Extrait

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some find it a beautifully balanced, versatile amber-oud, while others are baffled by its supposedly terrible performance and overtly animalic nature. Test before you commit, because this ain't for everyone.

Our Verdict - Malefic Tattoo Extrait

This one's a proper marmite fragrance - you'll either adore its dense, spicy oud or find it a monochromatic bore. Some reckon it's a rose impostor, while others just get sweaty dental offices. Approach with an open mind, but don't say we didn't warn you about the polarising aroma.

Season and Occasion Fit

Black Oud Extreme Amber Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its rich, woody, and animalic profile, coupled with a split opinion on its projection, makes it less suited for an office setting unless applied sparingly. However, its deep, sexy character is perfect for intimate date nights or making a statement at formal events.

Malefic Tattoo Extrait

Seasons

Best For:

Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its dense, oriental profile and strong presence make it too much for the typical office. It excels on dates and formal evenings where its luxurious, sensual character can truly shine. For casual wear, it's a bit heavy unless you're aiming for a very specific mood.
