L’Autre Oud
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
This one's a bit of a curveball from Serge Lutens. Some reckon it's a classy, unique take on fresh hay and vetiver, perfect for summer. Others are left scratching their heads, finding it too generic or just not what they expected from the house. Definitely a try-before-you-buy job.
This one's a proper grower, a refined oud and rose that isn't for dabblers. It takes some getting used to the strong, almost medicinal opening, but trust us, the payoff is a beautiful, expensive-smelling dry down. Not a blind buy, but definitely a masterpiece for the oud-curious.
