Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nawab of Oudh EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined fragrance that elevates the wearer. If you like soft rose and spice, this is a crowd-pleasing, understated masterpiece, though some find it a bit too subtle for the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fire & Spice EDP
A budget riff on Ormonde Jayne's Nawab of Oudh - Fire & Spice keeps the citrus-cardamom opening and rose-spice heart but simplifies the original's aldehydic complexity, leaning heavier and sweeter on oud and losing some of the niche original's polish.
