Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Limited 71 EDP
This isn't just another amber; it's a sophisticated, wearably bright take on a Middle Eastern classic. Expect something special and long-lasting that sets you apart from the crowd without shouting.

Our Verdict - Black Oudh EDP
This one is a love-it-or-hate-it beast. If you're into an aggressive, smoky dry-down that lingers for ages, then maybe you'll appreciate this. Otherwise, avoid it like the plague - unless you want to smell like cheap lipstick.

Season and Occasion Fit

Limited 71

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Built on amber, smoky and musky - a composition that sits best in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and inherent richness make it a daring choice for the office, though a light hand could make it work. It truly shines on dates and formal occasions where its seductive amber and incense notes can make a lasting impression.

Black Oudh

Seasons

Best For:
Winter

A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its overpowering and long-lasting nature makes it completely unsuitable for the office or casual day wear. It leans more towards formal or date settings where a bold, challenging fragrance might be appreciated, but even then, it's a risky choice due to its divisive character.
