Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, mind. It starts a bit challenging with a rubbery, almost medicinal kick, but if you stick with it, 500 Years blossoms into a dark, luxurious rose-and-cacao affair. Definitely not a blind buy, but for those who get it, it's an addictive, enigmatic beast.
This MFK Oud Satin Mood dupe is a 'love it or hate it' affair. Expect a beast mode, heady rose and vanilla that's either intoxicatingly beautiful or a 'chemical rose warfare'. Not for the faint-hearted, but adored by many.
