Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Lapidus EDP

Lapidus Pour Homme: a true 80s powerhouse. It's a divisive beast - you'll either adore its audacious blend of honey and masculinity, or you'll recoil from its unapologetic vintage roar. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who know, it's a masterpiece.

Our Verdict - Sweetie Aoud EDP

Seriously divisive. Some reviews claim "masterpiece" and laud its unique gourmand oud profile, others deride it as "pure trash" for its burnt, strange aroma. Don't be fooled by the 'sweetie' name - this is a complex, often heavy oud fragrance that's anything but a safe blind buy.

Also Works:

Casual Formal

This is a beast-mode fragrance with strong projection and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office setting where it could easily overwhelm. Its bold, masculine character and sensual honey-tobacco notes lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, though some find it too 'old-school' for modern palates. It's a bit much for casual wear, and definitely not for sport.

Also Works:

Formal

Its potent performance and distinctive, often "smoky" or "heavy" character make it less suitable for office or casual wear but ideal for evening dates or special formal events where its unique profile can shine without dominating. Many find it too unique for everyday wear.
