Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sweetie Aoud
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.

Our Verdict - United Arab Emirates Spirit Of The Union
If money's no object, and you're after a superlative Oudh-Rose combo, this masterpiece delivers. Pricey, yes, but for many, it's worth every last penny for a ride to Dubai via your soul.
