Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud Café EDP
Divisive and wildly inconsistent, Aoud Café smells like something completely different on everyone. You'll either get a bold, rich coffee gourmand or a pungent hit of celery and baby powder. Sample before you commit to a full bottle, because this ain't a safe blind buy.

Our Verdict - Heraud Extrait
Heraud is a divisive gourmand. Either it's a perfectly balanced, realistic chocolate and dried fruit dream, or it's a synthetic, dusty, chalky concoction that's far too sweet for its own good. An acquired taste with a loyal following, but definitely try before you buy.
