Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Black Intensitive Aoud EDP
This one's a divisive beast. Many find it an 'intensive' experience: a bold, unapologetic take on rose-oud that's both lauded for its power and loathed for its 'soapy' or 'hair spray' notes. Proceed with caution, and definitely sample first.

Our Verdict - Swedish Wood Extrait
This one's a divisive beast, often compared to FM's Promise but with a unique, luxurious twist. Expect high quality, but know that its massive sillage and longevity aren't for the faint-hearted.
