Which Should You Buy?
This loud, proud Cavalli Oud Edition is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. It's a bold, unapologetic statement, perfect for those who want to make an entrance and aren't afraid of a bit of controversy. Definitely not for the faint of heart.
Stylish Italian Wood aims at Roberto Cavalli Oud Edition - the dark, smoky saffron-leather-oud oriental. The dupe captures the gravelly oud-and-incense backbone but renders it flatter and sweeter, with the dirty leather facet softened and projection that stays closer to the skin than the rich original.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Occasions
Its powerful sillage and long-lasting nature, coupled with its heavy oud and leather accords, make it unsuitable for office wear or casual daytime use. This is a fragrance built for impactful evenings, shining brightly on dates or formal events where its opulent, dark character can truly be appreciated.
Seasons
The smoky oud, leather and incense are richest in cold autumn and winter air where the warmth and resin read as cosy rather than heavy.
Occasions
A bold, dressy oud-oriental suited to evenings, dates and formal occasions rather than daytime or sport.
