Which Should You Buy?
If you're seeking a dark, smooth, and impressively long-lasting oud, LM Parfums Black Oud hits the mark. It's often compared to Black Afgano but many find this one more refined and wearable, with its animalics subtly weaving into a sophisticated whole. Just don't expect it to scream across the room at retail price.
The richest of MFK's 2013 Oud Mood trio: Laotian oud cocooned in Moroccan labdanum, Laotian benzoin and vanilla. Animalic, smoky and softly sweet - a warm-stole composition rather than a medicinal-oud blast.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and generally refined character make it surprisingly suitable for an office environment if applied sparingly. The deep, sensual amber and oud make it ideal for dates and formal events, though it's too rich and heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.
Seasons
Dense oud-labdanum-benzoin-vanilla with a smoky resinous core sits firmly in cold weather; community votes weight winter heavily with fall close behind. Summer is too hot for the density and the animalic facet amplifies in heat.
Occasions
An opulent evening oud cocoon reads strongest for date, formal and statement contexts. Office wear is plausible at conservative dosage given MFK's polish but the smoky resinous depth crowds daytime professional environments. Sport is a non-starter.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Amber, Oud, Musky accords and Amber, Nutmeg notes
