Which Should You Buy?
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.
Aoud Velvet envelops you in a luxurious amber-oud embrace with a dash of rose, perfect for making a statement in cooler seasons.

Season and Occasion Fit
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.
Seasons
Aoud Velvet's rich amber and oud elements make it more suitable for cooler weather, giving it an edge for fall and winter.
Occasions
Its strong projection suits social occasions like dates or formal events, yet can be too potent for office or sporty environments.
