Which Should You Buy?
Bois Obscur is a powerhouse scent that's garnered a divisive response - some find it an addictive, sophisticated floral oud, others a pricey tire shop. It's not for the faint of heart, but those who appreciate bold, aggressive florals with serious swagger will find it utterly captivating.
This isn't your grandma's rose. Maison Alhambra's Rose Oud is a divisive beast: some get a sweet, wearable oud-rose, others a smoky, leathery, and even questionable aroma that leans heavily masculine. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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