Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Overture Man
Overture Man is divisive, a complex beast of boozy spice and raw animalics. Not for the faint-hearted or those seeking broad appeal, it's a bold statement for the confident and the connoisseur.

Our Verdict - Brûlant Oud
This one's a proper grower. You'll either love Brûlant Oud's complex, animalic floral or find it a bit too much at first. It's unique, with a rich, mature character that really rewards persistence.
