Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - L'Oudh EDP
L'Oudh is a truly polarising beast, a 'love it or hate it' affair where petrol and rubber meet raw, earthy oud. It's a challenging wear that demands appreciation for its uncompromising, naturalistic approach to a dark, animalic aroma.
Acquired

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tauer Perfumes - L'Oudh. Built around Castoreum, Myrrh, Oudh, it offers the character of the original at a budget price - a wallet-friendly alternative for fans of Tauer Perfumes - L'Oudh.

Season and Occasion Fit

L'Oudh

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Also Works:
Date Formal

Given its strong projection and often challenging opening notes of gasoline and rubber, L'Oudh is entirely unsuitable for office wear and too bold for most casual settings. Its dark, opulent character makes it more fitting for formal evenings or a daring date, but it's certainly not a crowd-pleaser.

Big Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

Best in autumn and winter - the woody, oud profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Keep it for evening and daily - the woody accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
