Which Should You Buy?
A solid, affordable alternative to Oud for Greatness, though it might need some maceration for full performance. Most find it a refined and sophisticated oud, while a few feel it lacks the punch of its inspiration, making it a good entry point to the genre.
This one is a properly divisive beast. Some adore its bold, spicy rose and musk; others complain of poor performance or a scent too aggressive for the Narciso Rodriguez brand. Not a safe blind buy, so sample before you splurge.
