Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Oud Laki EDP
This one's a smooth operator - a fresh take on oud that's far from the usual heavy hitters. It's sophisticated and surprisingly versatile, making it a solid choice for those new to Arabian scents or wanting something refined for everyday wear.

Our Verdict - Black XS L'Exces for Him EDT
A divisive, pineapple-heavy flanker that split opinion. Some rave about its sweet, fresh, and dirty pineapple vibe, praising its beastly performance, while others find it too synthetic, cloying, and short-lived. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it scent.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Formal

Its moderate projection and clean, aromatic woody profile make it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, offering a refined presence without being intrusive. While it has an elegant drydown, it might lack the 'oomph' for truly formal events.

Black XS L'Exces for Him

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its bold and sweet profile, often described as a 'beast' in projection and longevity by fans, makes it unsuitable for professional settings. However, its 'sexy and juicy' appeal, often mentioned by reviewers, makes it a strong contender for date nights and casual outings, especially clubbing.
