Which Should You Buy?
This one is a real Marmite scent, evoking strong opinions. While some rave about its luxurious, warm embrace, others are put off by a challenging oud and a surprising resemblance to Joop! Definitely try before 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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Its white floral, oud and musky composition leans towards spring.
Occasions
Its potent oud and long-lasting, projecting nature make it too assertive for the office, but perfect for evenings and colder weather dates. The strong, oriental character also lends itself well to formal events, though perhaps less so for casual everyday wear.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Given its strong opening and sophisticated oud-rose profile, this scent is better suited for evenings and special events rather than the office. Its longevity means it will carry you through a date or formal gathering with ease, though some find it can be a bit 'intense' for casual daytime wear.
