Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Red Aoud Eau de Parfum
Seriously divisive. Some adore this 'gourmand oud' for its unique cakey-rose vibe, while others are put off by a medicinal opening or a cheap, potpourri drydown. If you like your oud on the sweeter side, give it a go, but buyer beware: some find it overwhelmingly feminine or synthetic.

Our Verdict - Sun Drop Eau de Parfum
A truly gorgeous rose-oud combination, Sun Drop is an easy wear that brings warmth and sophistication. It may not break new ground but it does what it does exceptionally well, exuding a luxurious warmth that makes it a consistent crowd-pleaser.
