Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Ume

This is a love-it-or-hate-it plum experience, a deeply polarising scent that splits opinions between 'masterpiece' and 'old lady cough drop'. Expect boozy plum and florals underpinned by woods and spice, but be warned: this chameleon changes dramatically on different skin chemistry and temperatures.

Our Verdict - Aoud Lagoon

This one's a proper chameleon. Don't let the name fool you, there's barely a whisper of oud here. Expect a clean, tropical-leaning floral with a woody finish. It's a divisive one, with some finding it a brilliant summer scent, while others dismiss it as mere dryer sheets. Give it time to develop.

Its fresh, clean, and moderately lasting profile makes it versatile for casual and office wear, though some find it a bit too loud for strict office environments. The tropical floral notes suit sunny casual outings and holidays perfectly, while the woody dry-down adds a touch of intriguing nuance for dates. Its unique character might be a bit too unconventional for highly formal settings.
