Which Should You Buy?
This isn't just Crazy for Oud by name, it's crazy by nature - a divisive, bold fragrance that some adore for its unique gourmand-oud blend, while others find it too subtle, too floral, or just plain weird. You'll either love it or wonder what all the fuss is about.
This is a bold, dark, woody oud with a strong leathery character that, confusingly, some find an inoffensive crowd-pleaser and others a petroleum-soaked villain. It's a statement scent for those who like to stand out, but be warned that some find the dry-down disappointing.
