Which Should You Buy?
This isn't for everyone, but if you're after a unique, spicy-sweet Middle Eastern vibe that demands attention, Oud Lail Maleki delivers. Don't let the name fool you - it's not about the oud, it's about the adventure.
This discontinued 90s powerhouse is a love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a sublime, boozy Christmas pudding of a scent; for others, a harsh, peppery "old lady" fragrance. It's certainly a bold statement, not for the faint of heart, but those who adore it do so with fervent passion.
