Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - 17 Oud Mosaic
This oud-rose is a deeply polarising one. Some call it an affordable niche-quality gem, while others are put off by its challenging scent profile of barnyard oud. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're into an animalic, dark rose, this might surprise you.
Statement
Our Verdict - Shisur
Molton Brown's Shisur is a seriously underrated crowd-pleaser, delivering a refined Eastern adventure that everyone loves. Discontinued, sadly, but worth the hunt if you're after a sophisticated take on oud.
