Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Enigma Aoud EDP
Don't let the name fool you - Enigma Aoud isn't your typical heavy oud experience. This is a divisive one; some say it's a soft, radiant floral peach, others call it a waste of money with no discernible oud. If you want a masterfully blended, luxurious scent, it's worth a sniff, but adjust your oud expectations.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ahlam EDP
A truly gorgeous, refined floral oud that showcases the best of Eastern and Western perfumery. It's a complex, sophisticated scent that's loved by many, even those who usually dislike oud or rose.
