Which Should You Buy?
This one is definitely divisive. It's either a beautiful, fresh-spicy-animalic dream or a headache-inducing dirty mess. Tread carefully, it's not a safe blind buy, but for those who get it, it's a sensual masterpiece.
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.
