Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fantastic Oud
A divisive oud for some, a crowd-pleasing Montale for others. If you're after a warm, rich, and unapologetically masculine scent that screams 'look at me', this is your guy. Don't expect subtlety, do expect compliments and a whole lot of attention from this beast mode fragrance.

Our Verdict - Aoud Legend
This one is a properly divisive beast, not for the faint of heart unless you're one of the few who thinks it's a 'light' oud. Most folk are getting a powerful, leathery rose, with serious staying power. Montale are not shy, and 'Aoud Legend' lives up to the name for many.
