Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Aoud EDP
Roja Aoud certainly divides opinion, but those who love it, really love it. It's a rich, opulent rose-oud that many find intoxicating, though some lament the lack of a prominent oud note. Be warned: the potent dark juice stains skin and clothes, which is a major sticking point for many.

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.
