Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Thameen Eau de Parfum
This Lattafa gourmand is a divisive beast: some find it an intoxicating, compliments-getting stunner with an alluring chocolatey depth, while others can't get past a sour, unpleasant dry-down. Definitely one to try before you buy.

Our Verdict - Essencial Oud Eau de Parfum
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive 'bomb' of an oud. Those who love it, really love it, praising its powerful, unique scent and impressive staying power. Those who don't, find it overwhelming and cloying. Approach with caution and a light hand.
