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 - Musk Aoud EDP
Musk Aoud is a deeply polarising fragrance; some find it a masterful, unique blend of sensuality and luxury, while others are put off by its intense animalic facets and surprisingly poor longevity for the price. This one is for the bold, but sample first.
