Which Should You Buy?
This one's a proper grower, a controversial take on oud that starts strong and settles into something unexpectedly beautiful. It's divisive, with some finding it a bit 'much' at first, but for those who stick with it, Oud de Nil offers a surprisingly delicate interpretation of a classic.
This Taif rose stunner is a divisive masterpiece. Some find it regal and refined, while others are overwhelmed by its peppery intensity. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but those who love it, really love it.
