Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - No.12 Oud Douze EDP
This is Oud Maracuja, plain and simple, sans the passion fruit. If you want that beast mode oud with a wearable twist, but don't want to break the bank on the original, this dupe is your best bet.
Statement
Our Verdict - Dark Roses EDP
This one's a divisive punch to the face. If you live for unapologetically huge, jammy roses that fill a room and don’t care if it's too much for some, this is your jam. If not, best steer clear. It's not subtle, it’s not for everyone, but for rose fans, it might just be everything.

Season and Occasion Fit

No.12 Oud Douze

Seasons

Best For:
Winter
Also Works:
Spring Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This fragrance is an absolute beast in terms of projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting. Its powerful oud and warm spicy accords, coupled with strong performance, scream special occasions and romantic evenings rather than everyday casual wear or sports.

Dark Roses

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its 'strong sillage' and potent rose-oud nature, this fragrance is far too overwhelming for an office setting. It's better suited for evenings or formal events where its luxurious, bold presence can make a statement without suffocating those around you.
