Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Nawab of Oudh
A truly gorgeous, refined fragrance that elevates the wearer. If you like soft rose and spice, this is a crowd-pleasing, understated masterpiece, though some find it a bit too subtle for the price.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fortnum & Mason Taif Oud
A Roja Dove classic that feels less original thanks to its close resemblance to UAE Spirit of the Union. If you don't already own that, it's a superb rose oud with impressive performance, but it's divisive on value for money.
